Inokim Shipping Protection Service Policies

Inokim has you covered during shipping. With our Inokim Shipping Protection Service, you're protected against damage, missing parts, or theft on the way to delivery. If any of these situations occur and you've purchased the Inokim Shipping Protection Service, we'll send you a replacement free of charge. 

In the event of a valid claim, Inokim will dispatch a new item at no cost, covering both shipping and tax expenses. If the item is out of stock, a refund will be issued.

    Additional information

  • Incorrect Address Entry: If the customer provided an incorrect address during the order placement, Inokim does not assume responsibility for this error.
  • Estimated Delivery Date: Once an estimated delivery date is provided, it serves as the point at which the package is deemed "lost" plus an additional 48 hours. Moreover, if there is a recent shipping update at any given time, the minimum 7-day period for considering a package lost takes precedence over the 2-day minimum for estimated delivery.
  • Filing Time Frame: Inokim can action an order claim that is filed within the bounds of our timeline policy. If an order issue is filed outside of this timeline, Inokim will deny the order issue according to these policies:
        • Order issues for packages marked "delivered" yet not received must be made 5-10 days after the “delivery date” to ensure it was not mis-delivered or easily found around the premises and no more than 30 days after.
        • Order issues for packages presumed to be lost by the carrier (where the status is not "delivered") must be filed no sooner than 5 days after the scheduled delivery date and no more than 30 days.
        • Order issues for damaged packages can be filed immediately and must be filed within 3 days of the delivery date.
  • Closing a Claim:
    •
        • If a customer does not respond within 5 days, Inokim will automatically close the claim. Customers can open the claim back up by emailing us.
  • Canceling Inokim Shipping Protection Service:
    •
        • If a label was not already created.
  • Shipping Protection for Replacement Scooters:
    •
      • Once your claim is approved and Inokim sends you a replacement scooter, your scooter will automatically be covered by Shipping Protection for the replacement shipment.

    Refused Shipments: 

    To be eligible for coverage under Shipping Protection for damaged items, it is imperative to accept the delivery. If you decline the delivery, and the package is returned to the sender, you will not qualify for coverage under Inokim Shipping Protection. Moreover, you will be responsible for the standard refund policy fees.
