Receiving Procedures
Every Morse drum handler is inspected prior to shipping. However,
damage may be incurred during transit.
• Check for visible damage. If you choose to accept damaged
freight, always sign noting the damage on the BILL OF LADING.
• Document the damage and have the truck driver sign. We
recommend keeping a digital camera at your receiving dock for
this purpose.
• Open packages expeditiously to check the condition of the
goods. There is only a 24 hour window to notify the carrier of any
concealed damage.
• IMMEDIATELY REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPING
COMPANY! Then you may contact Morse for assistance with
your freight claim.
• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any
damaged freight that is not signed for as damaged.
Delivery to non-business addresses without a loading dock result
in additional freight charges. Residential delivery fees, inside
delivery fees, re-delivery charges, and lift gate services will be
added by the truck line, and are non-negotiable.
Limited 2 Year Warranty
Morse drum handling equipment is guaranteed against defects in
workmanship or materials for TWO YEARS when used properly
within its rated capacity. Warranty does not cover wear from
normal use or damage from accident or abuse. Motors and
other purchased parts carry the warranties of their manufacturers.
For warranty claims, contact your Morse Dealer to obtain a
return authorization number, and for return freight advice. Return
freight must be prepaid.
In all instances, liability is limited to the purchase price paid or to
repairing or replacing the product. Customer assumes liability for
any modifications, unauthorized repairs or parts substitution.
