DAMAGE CLAIM PROCEDURES VISIBLE DAMAGE AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY: Note damage on carrier’s delivery receipt. Accept the shipment. It can be returned later if repairs are not possible in the field. Request a “damage inspection” from the delivery carrier: The carrier will send his own people or contract an independent agency to make the inspection. The inspector will request a signature on the report and leave a copy. The carrier “damage inspection” report is not final. If additional damage is found when repairs are started, contact the carrier for another inspection; or at least give them the details of the damage. Do not move the equipment from the receiving area and keep all shipping materials until carrier “damage inspection” report is complete. If possible, take photographs of the damage and keep them for your files. Photos could possibly prove a claim at a later time.
