Hi there,
I am an owner of a sub newsagent and post office. Because our opening hour is between 8:30 to 5 pm everyday, we asked our neighbor, a cafe shop who opens at 4 am everyday, to take those newspapers and magazine deliveries for us.
Just yesterday I found out we did not receive any magazine and when I called my supplier, a central newsagent manager, he told me that they actually deliver those magazines and newspapers at 2 am and just leave them in front of the cafe. He refused to pay for the lost magazines and insisted we asked for it so we should pay for it.
Now I am 100% sure he never told me about their delivery time and from what I know they have delivered to the cafe people before. Under commercial law, do I have the right to ask this central newsagent to pay for the lost magazines as compensation?
Thanks a lot for your help.
