and handling damage.  Our quality control department guarantees that the proper quantities of 
items/components are packaged in each individual shipment, having a two-counter sign off policy, assuring

If freight and/or handling damage, or shortage of cartons/boxes/crates, should occur, it is your 
responsibility to file a claim with the freight carrier.  You must note the damaged or shortage on the freight 
carrier’s bill of lading before accepting the shipment.
