Packing your Sail

 

When packing your sail, please take this simple advice into consideration.
Remember, the following is only advice and it is your sole responsibility to ensure that you pack and protect your equipment whist it is in transit. The transport company will not be liable for any damage whatsoever if the packing is deemed inadequate for the goods within, even if it has enhanced insurance.

  • Make sure that your sail is clean, free from sand and sea water and dry. Sending us a wet and dirty sail will only take longer and incur more cost as we will have to find the time to clean and then dry your sail prior to starting the repair. A dirty sail usually ends up at the back of the queue.
  • Clearly mark each sail with your name and the damage you want us to repair
  • Roll your sail tightly and secure with packing tape and place in sail bag so that it doesn't un-roll during transit then encase the bag with a suitable material to protect the it from incidental transit damage such as scuffing and dirt.
  • If you are sending more than one sail, after stage (3) tape all sails together keeping the overall pack as short as possible. Make sure the complete pack is secure. If a sail falls out, the whole pack may fall apart and the sails will be lost in some transit hub or warehouse.
  • If you make the pack too long, it will be charges as "Freight " which will incur you with extra transit costs
  • Label the complete package with the senders name and address and the delivery address: Blue Chip, 94 Church Hill Road, Cheam, Surrey SM3 8LJ



    Important Insurance Information:
  • We automatically insure your pack with "Standard Transit Insurance Cover". This gives a maximum payout of £8 per kg for a pack that is either lost or damaged. ie. A 7kg pack will be insured for a total value of £56 for a complete loss.
  • For an extra charge of £7.50 for each transit journey, you can get enhanced insurance cover for the true value of your sail/s.  (£15 insurance premium for the complete round trip)
  • Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will not upgrade from the standard transit insurance.
  • Please confirm to us in your collection instructions If you require extra insurance at a premium of £15 for the complete round trip.
  • If you do not specifically instruct us to enhance your freight insurance, our maximum liability for any consignment will not exceeded the terms of "Standard Transit Insurance cover" whatsoever on any account.
