Detecting damages in transit
The carrier can only be held liable for damage
to the storage system if the damage is proven
to have happened during transport. Thus, it is
important to follow the instructions of this section
closely.
Losses in transit are classified as either open or
concealed damages. Damage is considered open
if the damage is visible on the packaging; damage
is considered concealed if the packaging is intact
and the contents are damaged.
Open damages must be reported to the carrier
immediately. For concealed damages, the time
limits of the terms of the carrier apply. While the
carrier is present, review the following:
• Recipient address and number of pieces
• Possible open damages
• Possible concealed damages
