Damaged Shipments
All shipments are shipped via carrier. It is extremely important to inspect material thoroughly before accepting and signing for it. Containers showing minor damage should be accepted. Damage to the contents of a shipment is not always visible or in plain view; it can be concealed damage. Packaging that appears in good condition does not guarantee that there is no ‘hidden’ damage. The only way to be certain that there has been no damage to the contents of a shipment is to fully unpack and examine the contents of the shipment carefully before signing and accepting delivery of the shipment. This is your responsibility. By affixing your signature, you are acknowledging and agreeing that you have inspected the contents of the shipment and are accepting the condition of the contents to your satisfaction. In this case, any later claim for product damaged must be filed by you directly with the carrier, it being understood that Waterlox shall have no responsibility for damage to the contents of shipments after any shipment has been signed for.
For ground shipments, many times, the carrier will leave packages on your doorstep if no one is available for signature. Please inspect the package by fully unpacking and examining the contents. Containers showing minor damage should be accepted. If you notice damage to the shipment, please call our customer service department immediately. Claims must be filed within 7 days after receipt. We will issue a Returned Goods Authorization Number (RGA#) if the claim is made within the required time frame.
For unnoticed/concealed (‘hidden’) damage, call the freight carrier with your tracking number directly to report the damage. If you notice visible damage to the contents of a shipment during inspection, refuse the shipment and identify the damage on the bill of lading, and call 800.321.0377 or email info@waterlox.com for an RGA#.
