Package Protection Plan

Overview:
This Package Protection Plan provided by Rodeo Mart offers optional protection for packages against a variety of risks during transit. This Plan is optional and available for deselection at the time of purchase.


1. Coverage

1.1 Damage to Contents: Coverage for physical damage to the contents of the package during transit. Note: Damage limited to the external packaging is excluded.

1.2 Loss of Package: Coverage for packages officially declared lost by the carrier.

1.3 Misdelivered Packages: Coverage for packages confirmed by the carrier as delivered to the wrong address. Misdelivered packages fall into two categories:

  • Recovered Packages: If the carrier locates the misdelivered package and it is redelivered to the correct address, the claim will be closed upon successful delivery.

  • Lost Packages: If the misdelivered package cannot be recovered, it will be treated as a lost package under this Plan and resolved accordingly.

1.6 Electrical or Mechanical Derangement: Coverage for the malfunction of electronic or mechanical items without visible external damage.

1.7 Incorrect or Missing Items: Coverage for errors such as incorrect or missing items in the shipment that are the fault of Rodeo Mart.


2. Exclusions

2.0 Ground Shipments (Non-Guaranteed Delivery Times):

  • No coverage for packages that arrive later than the estimated delivery window for non-guaranteed services (e.g., USPS First Class, UPS Ground).

  • Delays due to high volume periods, weather, or operational disruptions are excluded.

2.1 Late Delivery on Guaranteed Services:

  • Coverage for late deliveries is limited to guaranteed shipping methods, such as UPS Next Day Air and UPS 2nd Day Air.

  • If the guaranteed service arrives later than promised, we will refund the difference between the service paid for and the actual delivery service received.

  • Example:
    If you paid for Next Day Air but the package arrives in 2 days, we will refund the difference as if you had ordered 2nd Day Air.
