Shipping, Returns, Damaged, & Missing Items
Important: Please take a few moments to follow these procedures. You can protect yourself from incurring additional costs.
Please remember that truck drivers will bring the merchandise to the location but merchandise must be unloaded from the truck and set in place by the receiving party. Please make arrangements in advance for any hand trucks, forklifts or other necessary equipment before your delivery arrives.
- Inspect Before Signing! Unless it is noted on the freight bill that the shipment is damaged or short, a freight claim CANNOT BE FILED. ASI Equipment cannot be responsible for any losses sustained due to non-compliance with these freight claim procedures.
- Before Signing Proof of Delivery: When your shipment arrives, verify number of cartons (crates). Make sure you receive as many cartons as are listed on the receipt. Note any shortages on the freight bill.
- Remove all packaging materials: Check all items thoroughly for damage. If damage is found, note this on the freight bill. You and the driver should make a joint inspection of the contents if you notice damage. When damage is found, keep all packaging materials until the carrier's representative inspects the damage.
- Do not sign the Proof of Delivery until you are completely satisfied with the condition of the shipment. Signing the Proof of Delivery means you are accepting the items “AS IS”. The driver cannot leave until the freight bill has been signed.
- If damage is extensive and you are unsure as to whether or not the operation of the unit has been compromised, please refuse the freight shipment and call ASI Equipment ASAP.
- If concealed damage is found after the driver has left, you must report this to the freight company within 48 hours of delivery and take pictures.
- Please contact ASI Equipment Toll Free 800-786-6130 with any questions about these procedures.
