6.1 Preparation deadline
Orders placed online are recorded daily from Monday to Friday.

The relevant deadlines are reminded to the customer on the order form when placing the order.
6.3 Deadline for receipt
If Mil-Or has a product in stock, the delivery time is equal to the preparation time and the transport time. If the company does not have the product in stock, the time it will take for the product to reach the company’s warehouse should be added to this time limit. When the deadline is exceeded, the company automatically informs the customer of the new deadline for shipping the product based on the information available to it. The company also gives the customer the possibility to cancel and/or refund the order (in case the payment has already been made by bank deposit).

8.2 Absence of the customer on the day of delivery
Depending on the situation, the transport company may leave a transit slip in the customer’s mailbox asking the customer to contact the warehouse closest to their home, or may contact the customer to make an appointment. In this case, there is often corresponding information on the transport company’s website. Occasionally the customer is likely to miss the transit ticket. In this case, the customer is responsible for locating his parcel online so that he can be informed of the status of the shipment as often as possible.
8.3 Delivery delay
It is possible that the parcel may not arrive within the deadlines set by the transport companies. In any case, if the delay is long, the customer can contact Mil-Or so that they can start an investigation to locate the parcel, since it may have been lost.

– He has a period of 10 working days from the moment he receives the e-mail confirming the dispatch of his parcel to declare its loss to Mil-Or. After this deadline, no declaration will be accepted.
– If the customer reports the loss of the parcel within 10 days, Mil-Or will undertake to open a search file. As part of this process, the company is likely to ask the customer for various documents required to open the envelope. The customer should send these documents as soon as possible.
– Finally, the carrier will give a final reply to the search for the parcel within three weeks at the latest. The answer can be: either that the parcel has been found, in which case it is resent to the customer according to the normal procedure, or that the parcel has been lost by the transport company, in which case Mil-Or informs the customer and re-sends the product or compensates the customer (for the amount of the invoice), depending on the customer’s choice.
8.5 Receipt of the parcel
Parcels are delivered after signature of the recipient. Each item delivered must be checked and any reservations recorded on the delivery note of the transport company in case of partial or total damage. If the customer does not complain upon receipt of the parcel, this means that the parcel was delivered in good condition and no subsequent request or complaint will be accepted by Mil-Or. If the customer wants to complain to the courier company, he/she should submit a written request to the courier company within 3 days (not including holidays) from the day of delivery. The request must be sent by registered mail against proof of receipt.
Finally, any parcel not requested by the customer and returned to Mil-Or may be re-sent to the customer at the customer’s own shipping costs.
