In the event that the goods show obvious signs of transport damage, the customer has the right to refuse the goods upon receipt, informing the courier of the reason for non-acceptance. In case of acceptance of the package and the customer realizes it later, he must take photos of the package showing that the deterioration is a consequence of the transport.
