Therefore, the place of delivery has to be easily identifiable (presence of a plaque or signage) in order that no ambiguity can be possible. In case of incorrect, unclear information or if it is not possible to access to the recipient address, the Carrier shall consider that the travel service was made. The order will then be stored by the Carrier, in the post office or in a local point. The Client picks up his order at his own expenses.
