IMPORTANT
This merchandise has been thoroughly inspected 
and carefully packed before leaving our plant. 
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by 
the carrier at the time of shipment. Claims for loss or 
damage to the contents should, therefore, be made 
upon the carrier, as follows:
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage 
which does not become apparent until the mer-
chandise has been unpacked. The contents may be 
damaged in transit due to rough handling even though 
the carton may not show external damage. When the 
damage is discovered upon unpacking, make a writ-
ten request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within 
fifteen days of the delivery date. Then file a claim with 
the carrier since such damage is the carrier’s respon-
sibility. By following these instructions carefully, we 
guarantee our full support of your claims to protect 
you against loss from concealed damage.
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be 
noted on the freight bill or express receipt, and 
signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately de-
scribe such external evidence of loss or damage may 
result in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. 
The form required to file such a claim will be supplied 
by the carrier.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO 
KEATING. FILE YOUR CLAIM AS STATED ABOVE.
