Damaged Parts
Materials damaged in shipment should not be returned for credit. Shipping damages are the responsibility of the carrier (UPS, Federal
Express, trucking companies, etc.)
Apparent Damage
Upon receipt of your shipment, check all items carefully. Any damage seen with a visual check must be noted on the freight bill and
signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to do so will result in the carriers refusal to honor your damage claim. The carrier will provide you
with the required forms for filing such claims.
Concealed Damage
Damage not seen with a visual check upon receipt of a shipment but notices later must be reported to the carrier as soon as possible.
Upon discovery of the damage, a written or phone request to the carrier asking them to perform an inspection of the materials must
be made within ten days of the delivery date. Keep all shipping containers and packing materials as they will be needed in the
inspection process. The carrier will provide you with an inspection report and the necessary forms for filing a concealed damage claim.
Concealed damage claim is the carrier’s responsibility.
