ALLIED OVERNIGHT EXPRESS PTY LTD
Freightsafe Warranty Fact Sheet

Purpose

Allied Overnight Express Freightsafe Warranty is available to all customers to ensure that in the unforeseen circumstance that an item is damaged or lost in transit, Allied Express can reimburse you for the wholesale invoice value of the item effected (excluding GST). Incidents involving goods under $250.00 (excluding GST) are not covered under this Freightsafe Warranty. The maximum claim value for any one loss Incident is $12,500.00. Where there is no invoice available for the original purchase of the goods, the Freightsafe Warranty will provide payment based on the replacement cost of the goods for items of the same age and condition, in line with the above minimum and maximum limits. The Freightsafe Warranty is subject to the conditions detailed on this Fact Sheet.

Cost

The cost for this Freightsafe Warranty is based on 3.9% of the transport cost of the freight charges detailed on the Allied Express invoice. The 3.9% is calculated on the weekly invoice amount and appears as a separate charge for transparency.

  • Commercial bulk dangerous goods and explosives;

The Freightsafe Warranty is also not available on items carried by Allied Express Transport, which are your local, same day courier and taxi truck deliveries.

Incident Notification

Should loss or damage to the goods despatched occur, customers must complete a Freightsafe Warranty Incident report, and return this to Allied Express within 30 days from the date of despatch. An invoice will be required to substantiate the wholesale value of the loss, and must be provided with the Incident form. If notification is not received within 30 days from the date of despatch, the Freightsafe Warranty claim for that consignment will be void. Incident report forms are available on the Allied Express website (via client centre at www.alliedexpress.com.au) or via emailing warranty@alliedexpress.com.au. Incident report forms will outline all information required from you to notify Allied Overnight Express of an Incident.

Incident Investigation and conclusion

Once an Incident is notified, Allied Express will conduct a full investigation of the circumstances presented to it. Negligence and/or non delivery by Allied Express must be proven before Allied Express will accept responsibility for the Incident. Where a Freightsafe Warranty payment is made for damaged goods, Allied Overnight Express may take delivery of the damaged goods as the owner of those goods. Once Allied Express have accepted responsibility for the Incident, a cheque for the wholesale (cost) amount of the item claimed (excluding GST paid) will be forwarded to you.
Allied Express will not accept responsibility for any item/s where the wholesale value of the item/s is less than $250.00 excluding GST, or more than $12,500.00 excluding GST for any one loss Incident. An Incident is defined as "single event which leads rise to a claim which may or may not involve more than one consignment".
