Clients must notify Laundry Box within 3 business days of receipt of a delivery of any lost or damaged items from that particular delivery. Failure to do so constitutes waiver of a claim for any lost or damaged items from that delivery.

It is your responsibility to stay within your plan's poundage limit.

The Client has access to all bills paid and can request a review of charges at any time.

If the weight is more than the plan you signed up for, we will bill overage charges at a rate you agreed on your service purchase. The weight reported by us is the acceptable measurement to determine how much laundry you turned in. You can weigh your laundry yourself to help you determine the accuracy of the weight we reported but our measurement is final. If you would like to dispute the weight reported, please send us an email detailing your dispute and we will provide a resolution. In the instance we cannot come to an agreement, your service will be cancelled and the weight we reported will be the final measurement and any bill arising from it will be final.

- You are responsible for letting us know if you are unable to hand in your laundry 24 hours prior to scheduled pick-up. Laundry Box will treat missed pickups as no-show and will not allow double the poundage for your next pick-up.
