Who orders and who delivers?

It is important for each party to know whom they are doing business with. If something unexpectedly goes wrong with a delivery, both parties need to know whom to contact. Request/provide as much information as possible, such as name, address, city, e-mail address, telephone and/or fax number.

Picking up or shipping car parts
Collecting
If you are picking up the car part yourself or having it picked up, you can check whether it meets your expectations. Collection is always advantageous; there are no shipping and COD charges. Note that cash payment may be required; make sure you have enough cash with you. Always ask for a receipt!
Shipping
If the supplier is shipping the car part to you, keep in mind that this is usually done via cash on delivery. You pay the transporter upon delivery. Make sure someone is present at the specified address to receive the shipment and provide the payment.
Return shipment
The supplier should be able to detect any shortcoming. If this means the car part needs to be returned, make sure you make good arrangements with the supplier.
Responsibility
Suppliers who are members of ProxyParts.com trade strictly for their own account and liability. ProxyParts.com / Autonet B.V. does not accept any liability. ProxyParts.com subscribers have agreed to the ProxyParts.com Code of Conduct. Complain directly to the supplier, but in any event, within three working days, if the car part does not meet your expectations.
Give the supplier the opportunity to solve a problem within a reasonable term before purchasing the car part elsewhere!
