Shipping Policy - the basics
A Shipping Policy is a legally binding document that outlines the delivery process between SCN Trading Ltd and its customers. It defines our responsibilities, sets expectations for delivery times, outlines shipping fees, and addresses scenarios such as delays or special shipping conditions.
A clear Shipping Policy protects both the customer and our business. Customers know what to expect, while we ensure consistent communication and standards for order fulfilment.
