Following this signature, no insurance claim can be made and Part-eaz accepts no liability for reimbursements, if Goods are subsequently found to be damaged when opened. If you are unable to check goods on receipt for any reason, our courier suggests that the goods are signed for as "Unchecked".

Part-eaz accepts no liability for any additional costs incurred if instructions on the card are not followed within specified timescales including the replacement of perishable items (e.g. Balloon Gifts)

Where a weekend Special Delivery is required (single 18" Balloon Gifts only) the following applies:

• You may request a Saturday delivery if you wish, but please note that whilst most deliveries do arrive on this day, Royal Mail do not guarantee this and Part-eaz do not except responsibility for non-delivery on Saturdays.

• If your Balloon does not arrive on the Saturday, it will be delivered on the Monday (or in the case of a Bank Holiday, on the Tuesday).

• Due to the fact Helium Balloons are perishable items, Part-eaz strongly recommends that you do not request a Saturday delivery over a Bank Holiday weekend.

• There are no deliveries on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
