STETS warrants our packaging and shipping when STETS coordinates and purchases the entire shipping process. When Purchaser or their agents coordinate and purchase their own shipping, STETS cannot guarantee any damage issues resulting from shipping We encourage Purchaser to invest in shipping insurance if they are using their own agents and/or brokers. This shipping warranty applies to all shipping. With international shipping Purchaser agrees to hire a broker before purchase of products.
