TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE and CLAIMS
All Alto-Shaam equipment is sold F.O.B. shipping point, and when accepted by the carrier, such shipments
become the property of the consignee.
Should damage occur in shipment, do not put the appliance into service until the damage has been inspected
by an authorized Alto-Shaam service provider.
Shipping damages are a matter between the carrier and the consignee. In such cases, the carrier is assumed
to be responsible for the safe delivery of the merchandise, unless negligence can be established on the part of
the shipper.
1. Make an immediate inspection while the equipment is still in the truck or immediately after it is moved to the receiving area.
Do not wait until after the material is moved to a storage area.
2. Do not sign a delivery receipt or a freight bill until you have made a proper count and inspection of all merchandise received.
3. Note all damage to packages directly on the carrier’s delivery receipt.
4. Make certain the driver signs this receipt. If he refuses to sign, make a notation of this refusal on the receipt.
5. If the driver refuses to allow inspection, write the following on the delivery receipt:
Driver refuses to allow inspection of containers for visible damage.
6. Telephone the carrier’s office immediately upon finding damage, and request an inspection. Mail a written confirmation of the
time, date, and the person called.
7. Save any packages and packing material for further inspection by the carrier.
8. Promptly file a written claim with the carrier and attach copies of all supporting paperwork.
We will continue our policy of assisting our customers in collecting claims which have been properly filed and actively pursued.
We cannot, however, file any damage claims for you, assume the responsibility of any claims, or accept deductions in payment for
such claims.
