UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Community
R-Series loudspeakers are engineered and
manufactured to be rugged and they are carefully packed
in sturdy cartons. Make sure that the number of cartons
shown on the freight documents have actually been
delivered. It is wise to thoroughly inspect each unit after it
has been removed from the packaging, as damage could
occur during shipping.
Please note that once the shipment has left your dealer
or the Community factory, the responsibility for damage
is always borne by the freight company. If damage has
occurred during shipping, you must file a claim directly
with the freight company. It’s very important to contact the
freight company as soon as possible after receiving your
shipment, as most freight companies have a short time limit
within which they will investigate claims. Be sure to save
the carton and the packing material, as most claims will be
denied if these materials are not retained. Your Community
dealer and the factory will try to help in any way they can,
but it is the responsibility of the party receiving the shipment
to file the damage claim.
It is always a good idea to retain the carton and packing
materials indefinitely, if possible, in the event that the unit
may need to be returned to your dealer or distributor for
repair.
