Aramex (formerly Fastway) Transit Warranty

Purpose

Aramex Limited Liability cover is available to all customers to ensure that in the unforeseen circumstance that an item is damaged or lost in transit, Aramex can reimburse you for the repair or replacement net value of the item effected. The Limited liability cover summarised below is subject to the conditions outlined at https://www.aramex.com.au/terms-and-conditions/limited-liability/
which is offered in line with Transdirect standard terms and conditions of contract, which may be viewed on the Transdirect website.

What is an ATL and how does it affect my Transit Warranty

An ATL (Authority to Leave) is given in the event of the receiver not being home to sign for the consignment. It allows Aramex to leave your package without obtaining a signature.

Please note: When you have selected the ATL option, if the tracking or Proof of Delivery (POD) shows your item has been delivered, your package is no longer covered for LOSS by the Transit Warranty.

Cost

There is NO added cost for this Warranty offering.
