If Purolator cannot deliver a guaranteed Courier Shipment on the applicable guaranteed delivery day, delivery will take place by End of Day on the business day specified by Purolator.

    Purolator reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refuse a request for a refund or credit of shipping charges for any Shipment, when such request is made by any party other than the payer of the shipping charges. To obtain a refund or credit where applicable in accordance with Purolator’s service guarantee(s), Purolator must receive a request for refund or credit in respect of a Shipment to which a delivery service guarantee applies within fifteen (15) calendar days from the original date of the invoice for Account Customers.
