Execution of the Service

The service includes the delivery or collection of an express shipment. The client is obligated to prepare their shipments in advance, accompanied by a duly filled-out waybill on our online platform, ensuring that all fields are carefully completed (company name, address, client and recipient's phone numbers, shipment description: specifications, submission, fragility, etc.).

The client is responsible for the packaging of the shipment, and 3M Express disclaims any responsibility in case of non-compliant packaging.

Shipments can be made either by collecting them from the client using the provider's means or by depositing them at the provider's offices (based on the number of shipments delivered daily and at the client's request, from Saturday to Thursday, excluding holidays) at the agreed-upon time.

The client is responsible for the nature of the merchandise being shipped and agrees not to dispatch products whose road transport is regulated, sensitive or dangerous products, products prohibited from marketing, or contraband.

3M Express has the right to inspect the contents of the shipment in exceptional circumstances (e.g., national security request, law enforcement, etc.).

For shipments exceeding 30 kg, delivery times may be slightly delayed due to handling. The client and the recipient have a maximum waiting time of 10 minutes for the provider's agent during shipment collection or delivery.

A package is considered lost after 30 days of investigation and search, following a claim made by the client, formalized by email to the provider's service within 15 days after detecting the anomaly.

Insurance and Guarantees

In the event of an incident (loss or theft) of the transported packages or funds, 3M EXPRESS commits to reimburse the value of the merchandise according to the purchase invoice. 3M EXPRESS indemnifies its partner up to an amount of 100,000 Algerian dinars per package. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the package into several parts if the value of the merchandise exceeds 100,000 Algerian dinars.

Delivery Deadlines

3M Express commits to adhere to the delivery schedule previously defined by the provider, based on zoning, except in exceptional cases (strikes, severe weather, etc.).It is the client's responsibility to ensure that a locality is serviced according to the schedule previously communicated by the carrier before submitting the shipment to 3M Express.

For E-Commerce Cash on Delivery - Collection

When opening an account on the 3M Express platform, a trade register, residence, national ID card, artisan card, or other document justifying online sales activity will be required to use the provider's services.

The sales representative will communicate a specific day of the week for payment collection against a detailed receipt. The client must be present with the shop's stamp, national ID card, or similar identification.

If the shop owner is unavailable, it is mandatory for the representative to provide both identification documents (owner and representative).

If the declared merchandise value is equal to or greater than 100,000 Algerian dinars, delivery fees will be doubled for each additional 100,000 Algerian dinars.

Feedback

Retention Period for Undelivered Packages (Returns)

The provider commits to returning undeliverable shipments to the client, with a restitution receipt, within a maximum period of 30 days.
