temporary storage agreement Explanation: (as put so eloquently by yourself ;-) ) It sounds like this covers delivery instructions such as 'please leave in garage if out' and I would say that your suggestion fits perfectly. |

... Explanation: This service is offered by several carriers, often by carriers dispatching during the night or weekend, when the consignee is not present. A german carrier describes it as: The goods are delivered to the consignee and deposited in a lockable location. Whether this is a technician's vehicle, a container, garage or storage facility, delivery is made in accordance with the customer's individual requirements. Temporary storage agreement would not fully fit the bill, I think. The carrier can't just drop the shipment, often carriers have keys to certain locations, sometimes even the trunk of a car is used (if that has been agreed). http://www.night-star-express.de/english/leistungen_nachtexp... Not sure whether 'deposit agreement' could be used (could sound too much like money deposit) |
