Address Changes
If you need to update your delivery address, notify us within 24 hours of scheduling your shipment. Once the container is in transit, changes may incur rerouting fees or delays.
Order Cancellation Prior to Shipment
Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of shipping confirmation. After this period, cancellation may result in deduction of dispatch and transport costs already incurred.
Delivery Inspection and Reporting
Upon delivery, the receiving party must visually inspect the container before accepting it. Any visible transport damage must be reported at the time of delivery or within 48 hours, accompanied by photos and a detailed description. Noble Containers will arrange repair, reimbursement, or replacement depending on the severity of the issue.
