​

USERS GUIDELINES AND ACCEPTABLE USES

​

Service usage rules.

Your use of this service must follow the rules set forth in this section. Any other use of this service is a material breach of the agreement. LPS may monitor your use of the services to ensure that you are following these usage rules.

​

All services.

You may use the service only for personal, business or service purposes.

​

LPS services are currently focused on the Wirral. LPS are under no obligation to deliver outside of this area. LPS will however be able to deliver outside of this area if it has been negotiated and agreed between LPS and the user.

 

LPS Gold service, Same Day Guaranteed and Send & Receive are our priority services and any mail sent through these services will automatically take priority over any other service we supply. As such, only these services are liable to any refund for failure to deliver in their scheduled time frames. LPS call this procedure the "service compliance compensation" or SCC as it may be referred to. SCC is a penalty we place upon ourselves to ensure that delivery of your priority products is of paramount importance to the services that we offer. 

​

LPS Silver service will run in unison with the Gold service and our target for delivery of this product is 72 hours from collection. LPS will however deliver the majority of this mail within 48 hours if possible. Silver service mail that is not delivered within 48 hours automatically becomes a priority product for the remaining 24 hours. SCC can not be claimed for late delivery of this product as it is not subject to any premiums. 

​

LPS bulk postings service and price can only be negotiated between LPS and the user.

​

LPS signature required and same day guarantee service requires the user to list all of their items on a form supplied by LPS. LPS will attempt to acquire a signature from the recipient but if there is no answer the LPS operative will sign on behalf of the recipient and proof of delivery will take the form of a photograph of the item going through the letterbox, or left in a hidden safe place to ensure first time delivery. In dispute proof of the photographic evidence needs to be requested within 28 days of delivery. After this time the photographic evidence will be destroyed and no dispute may be raised.

​

LPS Send & Receive service is subject to the recipient following and implementing the request of LPS services. If these requests are not adhered to and the recipient fails to make the item(s) available for collection the following day, the service is considered completed and the onus is then on the recipient to return the mail to the user. LPS will however leave an option with the recipient to contact LPS to re-arrange collection for a further fee to be paid for by the recipient of £1.50. This item will then be returned to the user the following working day at the earliest opportunity for an LPS operative.

​

LPS collection of mail- LPS need to be informed by no later than 12.15pm that you require a collection. Requests after this time will be considered but a collection will only then take place if it falls into the LPS operatives work schedule. It is the users responsibility to have their mail ready for collection by 1pm. If the users mail is not ready for collection upon LPS arrival at your address after 1pm, the user will still be charged the collection fee of 50p. However if agreed with the LPS operative, they may wait or return at a later time to collect your mail.

No mail needs to be franked or be stamped. If you are sending a combination of Gold and Silver service or any other product, the user needs to have these items in separate bundles or relay this information to the LPS operative. Failure to do so will result in all mail being designated silver service but you may still be charged for the Gold service for the items you have declared Gold service.

All mail needs to be correctly addressed, any items that are badly addressed such as no such address, postcode mis-match will be whenever possible returned to the user. Any badly addressed items that have had an attempted delivery will still be charged for.

No mail needs to be franked or stamped, your LPS operative will mark your mail with its relevant colour (each day has a designated colour, your gold service will receive that days colour and your silver service will have the designated colour of the day 48 hours from time of collection)

SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

​

A one-off subscription fee of £10 will be applied to all accounts. The £10 fee will then be credited to your account and form all or part of your first mail collection with LPS. If only part of the fee is used whatever remains will be credited to your next collection and so on until the credit is used up. 

This one off payment only exists to deter anyone or any party trying to mis-use our service, or disrupt the LPS service. Our prices are for services as provided by LPS. At LPS we have different levels of service which are reflected in our pricing policy. We have numerous ways to pay, the most popular and simplest way is a pre-paid account. The user deposits a cash amount to cover their foreseeable postal expenses, when credit runs low the user can top up their credit via a bank transfer. All pre-paid accounts will be invoiced monthly or weekly (Monday to Friday) if required.

We can also take mobile payments, these will be invoiced on a single transaction basis and include the service charge of 1.49% for each transaction. 

​

REFUND INFORMATION

At LPS we offer guarantees on certain priority products. Gold Service, Same Day Guarantee and Send & Receive. In the unlikely event of an LPS failure to deliver these products a full refund will be credited to the users account. We will also of as well as the credit to deliver this product the next day free of charge if the service is still required.

If this product has failed due to force majeure, we reserve the right to deliver as soon as possible and not be penalised for circumstances out of our control. However this can be open to negotiation to uphold our trust and integrity. 

In the rare event of an LPS failure on Gold service products which would be delivery after 1pm the day after collection. This would result in a credit to your account by the following means. 

Example- Total amount of Gold items 200

                Successfully delivered items 180

                 Failed Gold items 20

The 20 items which have not been delivered will be downgraded to a silver service. The difference in price will then be totalled and divided between the percentage usage  of each user that day. On this occasion the 20 items were all downgraded to the value of 25p meaning £5 was due to be credited to the users on their percentage use.

Business A sent 100 gold items (50%) entitling them to £2.50 credit.

Business B sent 60 items (30%) entitling them to £1.50 credit.

Business C sent 40 items (20%) entitling them to £1 credit.

This is regardless of which specific items were failed as attributing mail to a user would be difficult at this point.
