Before Unpacking
Carefully inspect all shipping containers for evidence of damage during transit. If any damage
is indicated, request that the carrier's agent be present at the time the container is unpacked.
Upon Unpacking
Compare the actual items received (not just the packing slip) with your equipment purchase
order, and verify that all items are present and that the shipment is correct. Inspect each item
for external damage as it is removed from its container. Contact Adept immediately if any
damage is evident. For contact information, see How Can I Get Help? on page 13
Retain all containers and packaging materials. These items may be needed in the future to set-
tle a damage claim.
