    • 5.2 PICK UP
      a) Once a Launderer has accepted your Job, the Launderer will pick up your Job from the Job Address on the Job Day requested. The Pickup and Delivery service is a genuinely free service run at the Launderers’ expense so the Launderers are empowered to run the routes at the most convenient and cost efficient way for them, without the need to commit to a specific time on that Job Day.

      b) We cannot guarantee that a Launderer will pick up your Job on the Job Day and we will not be liable to you for any loss or damage that arise from a Launderer not picking up your Job on the Job Day or at a specific time. 

      c) Please ensure you will be available for the Launderer to pick up your Job from the Job Address on the Job Day. If you will not be available, please contact the Launderer as soon as possible to reschedule the Job Time, prior to their arrival at the Job Address. 

      d) If you will not be available on the Job Day please leave your Job in a suitable, secure location so that the Launderer or their employed Driver can Pick Up your Job without you being present.

      e) The Pick Up and Delivery Service is a free service provided at the Launderer’s expense. Where a Launderer, or one of their Drivers, have arrived at a booked location yet have Failed to pick up as requested then we reserve the right to charge a $10 fee to cover the associated costs of that Failed pick up. We track all Drivers and consider their arrival at the Job Address proof enough of their attempt.

      f) Where a Job has been Failed another mutually agreeable Pick Up day can be organised directly with the Launderer however this is unlikely to be on the same day as the original Pick Up Day.

5.3 WEIGHING OF JOB

a) If your Job includes a Job Weight, the Launderer will weigh your Job before starting the Laundry Services. You are responsible for ensuring that the Job Weight provided is accurate.  

b) If the actual weight of your Job is:

i) less than 2kgs above the Job Weight then any additional weight will be automatically added to the total price for your Job prior to charging without further notification to you; or

ii) more than 2kgs above the Job Weight then we, or the Launderer, will contact you to let you know of the difference in the weight (Significant Weight Difference).  At this time you can request a photo of the laundry being weighed on scales to confirm the weight. We do not offer any assurances that volumes and costs can be reduced down to booked weights due to time pressures involved in processing orders for delivery the following day.

5.4 DRY CLEANING AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

a) If your Job includes any items for dry cleaning, please keep these items separate from any other items that are part of a Job and detail which items they are within the app.

b) Any change to price must be negotiated prior to Pick Up. Therefore, your approval to be charged the price advertised within the app is considered implied and will be adjusted by the Launderer and charged accordingly without the Launderer seeking additional approval from you.

c) If your Job includes special instructions, let the Launderer know of these special instructions within the Notes section of the app. If a special instruction applies for a specific item, please keep this item separate from any other items that are part of a Job.

5.5 IRONING OR PRESSING

a) Any change to price must be negotiated prior to Pick Up. Therefore, your approval to be charged the price advertised within the app is considered implied and will be adjusted by the Launderer and charged accordingly without the Launderer seeking additional approval from you.

b) Similarly, there is no discount provided for the Customer washing bed and table linen prior to our Launderers ironing it unless agreed to prior to booking.  Therefore, where you incorrectly enter these items as Tier Two Ironing instead of Iron Bed & Table Linen, these items will be adjusted by your Launderer and charged according to the advertised price, without seeking additional approval from you.

5.6 ITEM COUNT
Any time that orders are booked on a per item basis where the number of items have been incorrectly accounted for within the Job; the number of items and subsequent charges will be adjusted by the Launderer without the Launderer seeking prior approval from you.

c) It is your responsibility to ensure that you are available at the Job Address for receipt of the Job on the day that is booked or mutually agreed, or that there is a suitable location for the Launderer to leave the Job unattended.  If your Job was left out for Pick Up then your approval to leave the Job at the same location at Delivery is considered implied.

d) Neither we nor your Launderer can be held responsible for anything that happens to your Job after delivery and will not be liable to you for any of your items being lost, damaged or stolen from that moment on.  Where no one is available to receive your laundry the Launderer or their Driver will take photo evidence of the job delivered for verification purposes and this photo shall be available upon request.

e) Where a Launderer, or one of their Drivers, have arrived at a booked location yet have been unable to deliver for whatever reason as requested then we reserve the right to charge a $10 fee to cover the associated costs of that Failed delivery and subsequent redelivery.

f) Where a Job has been Failed another mutually agreeable Delivery Day can be organised directly with the Launderer, although this is unlikely to be on the same Day of the initial Failed Day as the Job needs to arrive back at the plant for redelivery and the Launderer must be allowed to find efficiencies within their Route. Where a Failed Delivery Day was on a weekend there are no assurances provided that redelivery will be made prior to Monday.

5.8 INFORMATION FOR JOBS

a) Please ensure you provide accurate and complete details when creating a Job. 

b) Launderers accept a Job based on the information provided by a Customer when they create a Job. Launderers are under no obligation to check that the items you have provided for a Job, accurately or completely match with the information provided for that Job. For example, if you create a Job for Wash, Dry & Fold, the Launderer is under no obligation to check that the items provided are suitable for this service.  It is your responsibility to ensure any items provided for a Job you create are suitable for the Laundry Services that you have requested.  Neither we nor our Launderers will be liable to you for any loss or damage (including any costs to repair any damaged items, costs to replace any damaged or lost items or costs to perform any additional services) that arise from you obtaining any of our Laundry Services.
