A comprehensive incoming goods inspection only takes place when the vehicle and/​or container is unloaded.

Until this time, we reserve all rights arising from incorrect deliveries. The tyres are sorted as quickly as possible, in any case within 3 hours of delivery, and the delivery is checked for impurities. Impurities in the delivery are documented by photos which are made available to the customer by the end of the next working day at the latest.

Deviations from the above criteria will incur additional costs

In the case of individual extraneous materials (e.g. an erroneous sorting), we charge for the costs incurred. If the entire delivery is contaminated, we charge an additional surcharge as follows:
Low impurity content
15 EUR on the total tonnage
Medium impurity content
35 EUR on the total tonnage
High impurity content
70 EUR on the total tonnage

Furthermore, we reserve the right to reject deliveries that do not meet the acceptance criteria and to return them as incorrect deliveries at the supplier’s expense.
