Attention all buyers and sellers note changes to T/C Sales Yard 8/1/2013

[SpoolMan]

Sales Yard changes to Terms & Conditions.

Due to an increase in reported problems from buyers not receiving goods purchased in our Sales Yard Forums the following is now a condition of sale for all private seller transactions on this Forum.

All goods must be sent with registered post; once the item or items have been posted it’s the sellers responsibly to provide the buyer with the registered post number ASAP.

If you’re using shipping company other than Australia Post all sellers should quote shipping costs with a tracking number and provide the number to the buyer ASAP.

Should you choose to trade outside these T/C please don’t bother asking Admin for assistance if your item doesn’t arrive to its destination.

The above is designed to supply a piece of mind to the seller and buyer, a small increase in shipping costs will insure your item has been sent.
should you have any questions please send me a PM and I will reply ASAP.

The following info is from Aust Post website.

proof that the article was received - a signature is obtained on delivery
a unique identification number for every article
compensation for loss or damage of the article up to $100 for a standard registered delivery.
Optional services (additional fees apply)
