Inspect for Shipping Damage
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The
freight carrier has assumed responsibility for its safe transit and delivery. If the
equipment is received damaged, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made
with the delivering carrier.
1.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of
delivery. It must then be signed by the carrier representative (driver). If this is
not done, the carrier may reject the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary
claim forms.
2.
Concealed damage or loss if not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated,
can also be claimed. However, a request for inspection must be made to the
carrier within 15 days. The carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to
retain all contents and packaging material.
