Shipping and delivery terms

Good inventory management and fast deliveries are MWI Animal Health’s goals. We actively select the carrier based on several factors: the postal code you enter before proceeding to checkout, cut-off time for dispatch, estimated delivery time, and stock availability.

Our carriers in Sweden are DHL, Postnord, and UPS.

If we receive your order before 1:00 PM on weekdays, the goods will be shipped the same day. We always aim to provide you, as a customer, with the best possible service, and for urgent orders placed after 1:00 PM, we do our best to ship the order the same day.

According to the carrier, shipments are normally delivered to customers within one to three (1-3) days after leaving our facility if you live in the area around Gävle or southwards. North of this “line” delivery takes an additional day. If delivery is made by rural mail carrier, it will take at least one extra day.

MWI Animal Health is not responsible for third parties, e.g., delivery delays caused by the carrier.

Refrigerated goods are shipped from our warehouse Monday through Wednesday.

Public holidays can affect the carrier’s delivery schedule. If a public holiday falls midweek, please contact customer service for more information on the latest time to place your order to receive your goods on time.

2.1. Our Delivery Methods

Customers within Sweden receive free shipping on orders over 1500 SEK excluding VAT. NOTE – Shipping is always added for orders containing the medicine Arti-Cell Forte according to the item’s shipping table.

If you choose delivery to a pick-up point or your package is left at a pick-up point because you were not available to receive it at the notified time, an extra fee will be charged. More information on delivery to pick-up points is provided below.

Shipping fees apply to orders under 1500 SEK excluding VAT. The shipping cost is then 99 SEK excluding VAT.

Backorders of regular stock items are shipped free of charge. Backorders are primarily sent with the next regular order or from MWI Animal Health’s warehouse on a weekly basis.

2.1.1. B2B Parcel/Pallet (Business to Business)

Products are delivered during daytime to the address specified in the order. The carrier will notify you before delivery at the phone number provided at purchase. The carrier typically provides an approximate delivery window of 3 to 4 hours. A responsible adult recipient must sign for the goods and present valid ID. We cannot influence the carrier’s delivery times or days. In some areas in Sweden, the carrier may only offer home delivery on certain days of the week.

2.1.2. Delivery Without Signature (DHL PACKAGE or DHL PALLET)

The “Delivery Without Signature” option allows DHL to deliver the shipment to the specified address without the recipient being present to sign personally. If you live in a rural delivery area, this is a good option to avoid delivery delays.

Delivery with the “Delivery Without Signature” option is subject to the terms and conditions available here:

https://www.dhl.se/content/dam/downloads/se/logistics/se/DHL_Produktspecifika_uppdagsvillkor_inrikes_1111.pdf

“Delivery Without Signature” means that DHL and its subcontractors disclaim all liability for the goods upon delivery. If the recipient is present at the time of delivery, the shipment will be signed for by the recipient as usual.

2.1.3. Delivery to Pick-Up Point

Certain smaller products are delivered to a pick-up point near your delivery address. Delivery is made to one of our respective agents’ pick-up points.

You will receive an SMS or postal notification when the item has arrived and is ready for pickup. You can then collect your item at your convenience, but normally the item must be picked up within 14 days.

More information will be provided at delivery to the pick-up point. The item can only be collected by the person named as the delivery recipient. ID verification will be required at pickup.

2.1.4. In-Store Pickup Orders at Our Pharmacy

Pickup orders (orders collected on-site at our pharmacy) must be placed in the webshop by 3:00 PM for pickup the next business day. If you want to pick up your order with us, choose this delivery option in the webshop checkout. We cannot handle walk-in orders without prior booking. Orders placed will be ready for pickup at the pharmacy between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM the following business day.

2.2. Track Your Package

When your order is shipped from our warehouse, you will receive a delivery confirmation by email. The confirmation includes a tracking link that you can click to track your delivery.

If you have not received a notification that your package has arrived but see via the tracking link that it is at a pick-up point, you may pick up the package with the parcel ID/tracking number and valid ID.

2.3. Missed Delivery / “Failed Delivery Attempt”

If you are not available at the time of delivery, you will be charged for costs arising from the failed delivery attempt. For packages delivered to pick-up points and not collected, a return fee applies according to the table under “Cancel Your Order.” If goods have been damaged due to missed delivery attempts and refrigeration issues, you will also be charged the sales value of the goods. Responsibility for delivery passes to you as the customer once you receive the delivery notification.

2.3.1. Terminal Storage Fee

If you cannot receive your home delivery within three (3) days after notification, you will be charged an additional handling fee of 265 SEK per day and shipment.

2.4. Uncollected Packages

We reserve the right to charge costs incurred for handling uncollected packages (return shipping, processing fees, etc.). Goods remain at the pick-up point for 14 days before being returned to us. Please note that if you wish to return the item, you must first pick up the package and then return it according to MWI Animal Health’s return process.

For uncollected packages containing medicines, the following applies: According to the Swedish Medical Products Agency regulations, returned medicines may not be resold or shipped again. Medicines returned to us or uncollected at pick-up points must be destroyed by law. The cost of medicines in uncollected or returned packages will be charged to the customer.

2.5. Change of Delivery Address

Once the goods have left the warehouse, it is not possible to change the delivery address. Therefore, it is especially important that you verify the delivery address is completely correct before confirming your order.

2.6. Delivery Delays

Delivery times may be extended due to unforeseen delays along the route. Postnord and DHL deliver to parts of northern Sweden and Gotland with a delay of one or a few days. This extra time is not always included in the estimated delivery time shown on the website. MWI Animal Health does not compensate for these delivery delays.

If we cannot deliver within the agreed time, we will, without delay and if possible, inform the customer of the reason for the delay and provide a new estimated delivery time.

Purchase and payment terms

3.1. Prices

For business customers with an account at MWI Animal Health who can log into the webshop, MWI Animal Health’s list prices excluding VAT are shown and apply indefinitely. Some of our customers have agreed prices and discounts, which will be visible to you when logged in. All prices are shown excluding VAT for customers logged into the webshop.

MWI Animal Health reserves the right to immediately adjust prices if our purchase prices or other conditions change, such as exchange rates.

For certain products, prices are provided upon request. Please call or email customer service at 0771-21 55 00 or [email protected] for a quote request.

3.2. Product Images and Product Information

The product images on the website do not guarantee an exact representation of the item’s appearance. We reserve the right for any errors in product information and to change product details and prices without prior notice.

MWI Animal Health is not responsible for any errors in product information or otherwise on the website. In case of inaccuracies, MWI Animal Health reserves the right to correct them afterward. We reserve the right to price adjustments, sold-out products, stock discrepancies, technical issues, changes in technical specifications, and any typographical errors on our site or in our advertisements.

3.3. Licensed Products

Some medicines are not approved in Sweden but can still be requested/prescribed on license, so-called licensed medicines. A license is a sales permit for a specific pharmacy to sell a medicine not approved in Sweden.

It is the customer’s responsibility to create a license justification in KLAS, the system used to manage these licensed medicines. If a justification or supplementary information is missing, the customer will be contacted by email or phone. If no justification is provided or updated within 5 working days, the order will be canceled. Once the license is approved, we will ship the medicine, provided it is in stock. Licensed medicines not in stock are ordered only after license approval. Licensed medicines ordered on prescription for a specific animal owner will be fully charged to the prescriber/clinic along with other costs if the animal owner does not collect their ordered medicine.

3.4. Invoice

For business customers, payment by invoice with 14 days net terms applies unless otherwise agreed. Some customers may be required to prepay. For capital investments, MWI Animal Health can offer financing through leasing agreements.

MWI Animal Health reserves the right not to sell veterinary-specific products to those who are not veterinarians. MWI Animal Health reserves ownership of the goods until full payment has been received.

Order

4.1. How to Order

Orders are placed on our website. If you have questions about how to order, please contact customer service by phone at 0771-21 55 00 or email [email protected]. By placing an order, you accept our purchase terms and consent to your name and personal or organization number being registered in our customer database. A purchase agreement is only concluded when we confirm the order by sending an order confirmation to the email address you provided. We reserve the right to correct orders if delivery cannot be made for any reason.

4.2. Adding Products to an Existing Order

You cannot add or change products in an order that has already been placed. This will be treated either as a new order or a cancellation (see section 4.3 Cancellation).

4.3. Cancellation

Business customers who have ordered products from our special assortment (called made-to-order items) cannot cancel their order. Please contact customer service if you have questions regarding made-to-order items.

4.4. Withdrawal of an Order

For companies, the Contracts Act applies and thus the right of withdrawal law does not apply.
