Release for Dispatch Date
The "Release for Dispatch Date" is the date on which an order has been released and is ready for pickup, delivery, or dispatch in accordance with the customer's account terms.
The storage period is independent of payment status.
Whether an order has already been paid for or the customer operates under approved credit terms, once the order has been released and is available for dispatch, the storage period will commence.
7-Day Free Storage Period
Customers are provided with 7 calendar days of free storage from the Release for Dispatch Date.
Customers are expected to arrange pickup or dispatch within this period.
Storage Occupancy Charges
If an order remains in the warehouse after the 7-calendar-day free storage period, storage occupancy charges will apply from Day 8:
-
Days 1-7: Free.
-
Days 8-14: 0.5% of the invoice value per day.
-
Days 15-30: 0.75% of the invoice value per day.
-
Day 31 onwards: 1% of the invoice value per day.
A minimum storage occupancy charge of AUD $5 per order per day applies.
Where the percentage-based charge is less than AUD $5 per day, the minimum AUD $5 daily charge will apply.
Long-Term Uncollected or Undispatched Orders
For orders that remain in the warehouse for an extended period,PNPL® Warehouse Management and/or WheelsAPE.com reserve the right to require collection or dispatch, suspend the processing of subsequent orders, or take other reasonable warehouse management measures.
Any outstanding storage occupancy charges must be settled before the relevant goods are released from the warehouse.
