Theft or loss of packages after they have left our facility or the manufacturer’s facility.
Any issues arising from incorrect delivery addresses provided by the customer.
Customer Recourse: In the event of a shipment failure, the customer’s recourse is directly against the product manufacturer and/or the shipping carrier. HHS will, upon request, provide any available information (such as tracking numbers and carrier contact details) to assist the customer in pursuing a claim with the responsible party.
4. General Provisions
