Do I need to be on site when my delivery arrives?

All Deliveries must be inspected and signed off by the customer or a customer’s representative at the time of delivery to ensure the correct product, colour, and quantity has been delivered and delivered in new and undamaged condition.

If a customer or customer representative cannot be present at the time of delivery, Richmond Sand & Gravel will assume no responsibility for the product once it has left our care and delivery trucks.

 

Where will my delivery be placed on site?

Your delivery will placed on the kerbside. You acknowledge that if you wish for us to cross the kerb to deliver your products all damages or breakages to kerbing or the site will become the customer’s responsibility.

We are bound by and comply with WorkCover regulations. Your product will be placed where our drivers deem the most safe and accessible section of the delivery site.

If you want us to access your site via neighbouring land, you are required to obtain written permission from the relevant property owner prior to delivery and any damage to the site will be your responsibility.

Should the driver not be able to determine a safe location or there is no obvious space to place the product on site and you or your representative are not on site at time of delivery, the driver will try to contact you to seek instructions.

In the event you can’t be contacted the driver will not unload your order and will return it to our depot and await instructions. If your order is returned to our depot Richmond Sand, Gravel & Landscaping will charge a re-delivery fee to re-deliver the order to site.

 

What happens if my order arrives and it’s incorrect or damaged?
