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.
