Re: Shipping and claims for damaged products

Anyway, sorry, just venting my frustration at companies and one sided contracts that basically give the consumer no rights at all. I guess they may not be as bad as airlines, but...

Re: Shipping and claims for damaged products

What shipping company do you work for?

I only ask as the idea that I don't want my liquids frozen in transit isn't exactly something you should need to specifically state to a shipping company....

Re: Shipping and claims for damaged products

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

My assumption is they would be put in a pile when they arrived at London and the one at the top (one waiting longest) would be chosen to work on when a representative was free. Sounds like that's not...
