Note damage on carrier's delivery receipt. Accept the shipment. lt can be returned later if repairs
are not possible in the field.
2. 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.
c. The carrier "damage inspection" report is not final. lf 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.
lf possible, take photographs of the damage and keep them for your files. Photos could possibly
prove a claim at a later time.
