Questions about this service
Who approves additional shipment costs?
Agree the customer’s authorisation contact and reporting method at the start. A changed scope or new third-party requirement should be reviewed against the quotation before further arrangements are accepted.
What should be completed before delivery?
Confirm the required releases, receiving appointment and payment arrangements. Sheffield’s standard position is payment before delivery unless a different arrangement has been expressly approved.
