System Delivery

Sections in this chapter:

•

1.1 “Preparing for System Delivery”   page 10

•

1.2 “Moving the System After Delivery”   page 10

•

1.3 “Selecting a Local Shipping Company”   page 11

•

1.4 “Postdelivery Procedure”   page 12

Varian’s delivery responsibility ends at Varian’s factory shipping dock or at the customer’s 
receiving dock, depending upon the type of insurance obtained by the customer. In either 
case, the customer must provide a moving crew to move the shipping crates holding the 
system from the delivery truck (or storage location) to the installation site.

The method of shipping and the current conditions at the destination determine the extent 
of the receiving preparations. The Varian Order Acknowledgment form indicates the 
shipping method for the order. The following service is usually provided: 

•

Air Freight. System is delivered to unloading dock or other easily accessible outside 
unloading point. Factory to destination transit time is about two days (not including 
time to clear customs).

•

Motor or Moving Van. System is delivered to an easily accessible interior location or 
any interior location to which freight can be easily transported by movable dolly. 
Excluded is transport in elevators that cannot support the weight of the shipment or up 
stairways. Factory to destination within the United States is about eight days.
