Freight Damage - Please be sure to inspect the shipment very carefully before you sign for delivery. Inspect the packaging, and if possible, open the packaging and inspect the product inside for hidden damage. If you notice any signs of damage, note them in detail on the delivery ticket. Then, we recommend that you refuse delivery and contact us immediately, so we can make arrangements for a replacement, if applicable. If you do sign for and accept delivery of a damaged item, we can not guarantee you a replacement. Once you sign, you take responsibility for any claims that may need to be placed with the freight carrier. Refusing delivery protects you from this hassle. If you have any questions about freight policies, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or at (800) 909-4564. If there is no visible or obvious damage (carton appears acceptable at delivery and no damage is noted on delivery receipt), but you discover broken items after opening, call the LTL Carrier within two (2) business days of receipt for instructions in placing a Concealed Damage Claim. Typically, a LTL Carrier will not give you 100% replacement value when filing a concealed damage claim and we will not assume the difference. You are responsible for verifying the condition of your merchandise upon receipt. Please inspect it carefully for shipping/handling damage prior to signing the delivery receipt. Carrier freight claims are paid directly to you, the consignee, all claims for damage or loss must be filed with the Carrier. The name, address and phone number of the LTL Carrier is on the bill of lading given to you at the time of delivery. If the information is not there, request if from the driver or call your local phone directory operator for the information. For FedEx, act as follows: If the package is obviously damaged, you can refuse delivery. Call us immediately so we can initiate the replacement process.
