Instrument Arrival

Destination

There are two types of Destination shipping: CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid to)
Destination and CIF (Carriage Insurance and Freight paid to) Destination. These
are also known as FOB Destination. For all types of Destination shipping, Thermo
Fisher Scientific will file claims against the carrier for any damages incurred in
shipment. Note, however, that Thermo Fisher Scientific will not accept liability
for damage not recorded on the receiving documents.

Receiving Instruments

Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments are shipped by electronic equipment carriers
who specialize in the handling of delicate equipment. Occasionally, however,
equipment inadvertently gets damaged in transit.
Please take the following precautions when receiving the instruments:

The Customer Support Engineer (CSE) will also check for damage and verify the
completeness of shipment. This will protect you in the event of missing or
damaged components.
NOTE Freight insurance requires that obvious damage be noted on the receiving documents.

Check carefully for obvious damage or evidence of rough handling, including
triggering of Shockwatch
If external damage is apparent, note this fact on all copies of the receiving
documents, and describe briefly the extent of the damage. The driver should
sign (or initial) next to your comments to signify agreement with your
observations. It may be necessary to photograph damaged areas for claims
purposes. Contact the appropriate Thermo Fisher Scientific office to report
the damage.
Move the cartons to a protected location, preferably to the installation site.
Leave the boxes as complete as possible, and do not unpack the components
unless absolutely necessary.
