Purpose: In this article we explain the surcharges that will apply to your shipment if it does not comply with Mondial Relay's shipping conditions. We also explain what you should look out for when shipping with Mondial Relay.
Surcharges
When a package does not meet the carrier's terms and conditions and/or maximum dimensions, an additional fee may apply. The surcharges will always be invoiced afterwards by the carrier and you can see them on your Sendcloud invoices.
Mondial Relay can modify any weight errors based on the regularly checked weighing equipment. If the weigh is different, the price difference will be charged and a processing fee of €15 tax included will be applied.
If the parcels does not comply with the shipping conditions (dimensions, packaging, weight...), no refund can be made by Mondial Relay because the carrier has already accepted the parcel in service point.
Any parcel that cannot be delivered to its final destination will be transferred to a Mondial Relay regional agency where the customer can pick it up.
