2. Overview of Shipping Collect Services

The entity from which you have purchased goods, referred to as the 'Merchant,' is subject to various charges such as shipping costs, taxes, custom duties, and other fees imposed by the destination country. The Merchant has granted Quuote.me the authorization to communicate with you, the receiver of the goods, to provide additional shipping services ('Shipping Collect Services') and to collect fees associated with these services. Shipping Collect Services encompass courier transportation, insurance, and the option to pre-pay import taxes and duties.

Quuote.me provides you with the flexibility to customize your order shipment by:

  • Selecting a shipping transporter, courier, or mail service ('Courier').
  • Purchasing shipping insurance ('Insurance').
  • Pre-paying import taxes and duties for your order.

Shipping Fee

The Merchant will inform Quuote.me of the Couriers it wishes to offer to Buyers. The cost of transportation ('Shipping Fee') is influenced by various factors, including the Merchant's address, Buyer's address, weight, dimensions, product category, item value, and the chosen Courier. It covers all expenses related to the Shipment, as quoted by Quuote.me, encompassing transportation cost, fuel surcharge, remote area surcharge, residential surcharges, pick-up fees, and any other charges associated with shipping through Quuote.me. Quuote.me will display available Courier options and corresponding Shipping Fees to Buyers, who can then select their preferred option. The Merchant will specify whether the Shipping Fees are to be paid by the Merchant or the Buyer, and Quuote.me will collect the shipping cost from the relevant party before dispatching the order.

Insurance

You have the option to purchase insurance coverage for your Shipments ('Insurance Fees') through Quuote.me. All regulations, terms, and policies related to shipping insurance offered through the Website are governed by the Insurance Terms and Conditions (https://www.Quuote.me.com/legal/insurance-terms-and-conditions).

Import Taxes and Duties

For international orders, local customs may impose import taxes and duties, collectively known as 'Taxes and Duties.' Quuote.me will provide a Taxes and Duties Estimate before each Shipment for the Buyer's reference. If agreed upon by the Merchant, Quuote.me may offer Buyers the choice to pay Taxes and Duties at delivery (Delivery Duty Unpaid - 'DDU') or prepay Taxes and Duties (Delivery Duty Paid - 'DDP'). For DDU Shipments, any unpaid Taxes and Duties become the Buyer's responsibility, and the estimate is for reference only, with potential additional charges depending on local policies. For DDP Shipments, the Buyer pre-pays Taxes and Duties to Quuote.me before shipping, and any discrepancy in the estimate is not the Buyer's liability, provided accurate information is submitted. Quuote.me may charge additional fees for incomplete or inaccurate information.

Quuote.me is not liable for loss, delay, or damage of items in the hands of local customs, and is not responsible if customs confiscates, holds, or denies release of the Shipment to the Buyer.

Additional Fees

Quuote.me may provide quotes for additional fees, such as peak surcharges and seasonal charges ('Additional Fees'), which will be billed if accepted by the Buyer.
