P/N 5900022 — Rev. B — Nov. 2019 

Shipping Information 

Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect 
the shipment 

before

 you sign to acknowledge that you received it. 

When you sign the bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good 
condition. 

Do not sign the bill of lading until 

after

 you have inspected the shipment.

 If any of the 

items listed on the bill of lading are missing or damaged, do not accept the shipment until the carrier 

makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing and/or damaged goods. 

If you discover missing or damaged goods 

after

 you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of 

lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not 
make an inspection, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a 

specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request. 
It is difficult to collect for loss or damage after you have given the carrier a signed bill of lading. If this 

happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of 
lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs. Our willingness to assist in helping you process your claim 

does not make us responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or damaged materials.
