THOROUGHLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT UPON ARRIVAL.
If goods are received short or in a damaged condition, it is
important that you notify the carrier’s driver before he leaves your
company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage across the
face of the freight bill. Unless this is done, no claim can be enforced
against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the carrier at
once and insist on an inspection. This is absolutely necessary! A
concealed damage report must be made no later than five (5) days
from the date the shipment was delivered. Unless you do this, the
carrier will not consider any claim for loss or damage. The carrier’s
agent will then make an inspection and grant a concealed damage
notation. If you give the transportation company a clear receipt for
the goods that have been damaged or lost in transit, you do so at
your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filed within 5 days of delivery date or carrier
will not accept them.
Sealer Sales is willing to assist in every possible manner to
collect claims for loss or damage; however, this does not hold Sealer
Sales responsible for collection on claims or replacement of
material.
Do not throw away damaged pallets or box until
freight inspection has occurred.
