RECEIVING and UNPACKING
Inspect shipment upon receipt for external damage. Walk
around the freight and identify and address any unusual signs of
handling with the shipper before signing for the delivery. This is
a fast and easy way to resolve all transportation damage claims.
When unpacking and uncrating, inspect each item for internal
damage. Any damage found should immediately be reported to the freight
carrier before installation. The receiver is responsible for following the claims
procedure of the freight carrier. The freight carrier is responsible for taking
prompt action on all claims. Replacements for parts damaged in shipment are
available upon receipt of a signed copy of a claim report (concealed damage
claims should be filed immediately against the freight carrier by the consignee).
After unpacking, check each item against the packing list. Inspect it
thoroughly for loose parts, instruction sheets and packing lists. Immediately
report any missing items. It is wise to complete the installation before discarding
packing material. Store all parts where they will not be damaged or lost prior to
installation.
