Upon delivery, please inspect the goods – thoroughly – to make sure there is no damage to your products before signing the bill of lading.  If you do notice damage, please note it on the bill of lading and contact a Brockwell Incorporated associate immediately at 980-282-8383.  Any and all concealed damage must be noted on the bill of lading and then reported to Brockwell within 48 hours of delivery.

Typical receiving schedules refer to 8:00am – 5:00pm, or “Normal Business Hours," local time.  These delivery hours may vary depending on a variety of factors, such as Freight Company, Location, & Community.  If you refuse your freight during these hours, an additional charge from the freight carrier may be incurred.

When your products do ship on a common truck, please follow these guidelines, below.

While the Driver is Present:

1. Review the driver’s delivery receipt and/or Bill of Lading (BOL)
   a).  Are the products yours?
   b).  Is all the pertinent documentation present? (i.e. Job Name, P.O. #’s, delivery terms, correct number of products, etc.)
   
   
2. Inspect/Count Your Freight
   Make sure that all your packages are present with the exact number of products you ordered.  You should immediately dry-fit all component products.
   
   
3. Check for Any Damage
   It is paramount that you review each package to make sure there was no damage during transit, as well as that the package(s) you receive contain the correct products.  Please open and inspect the package(s) thoroughly – before signing the BOL – to ensure that there has been no damage to your product(s).  All damages or incorrect products must be noted on the BOL in the driver’s presence.

• At the time of delivery, did you note on the BOL “Possible Concealed Damage” – before signing the BOL?
  
  
• Did you retain all the damaged packaging & damaged material until the inspection was concluded by the carrier?

For visible damage, refuse the portion of the shipment that is damaged and write this on the bill of lading:

"Damaged goods in shipment - Return to Sender."

Note the number of damaged boxes or products, then please notify a Brockwell associate.

Brockwell Incorporated is not liable for any damaged freight during shipment.  Once the bill of lading is signed that there is no damage, this means that you have accepted the merchandise as it should be, and Brockwell will not be able to file a claim against the freight carrier.

Please immediately contact the freight carrier and ask them to send out an Inspector to inspect the damage.  You may file a claim to either replace or repair the damaged products.

If you do not receive the same number of boxes that are noted on the freight bill, please note the number of missing boxes on the freight bill.  Please then contact a Brockwell associate so that we can quickly send out the missing items to you.  You must note that there are missing boxes on the freight bill, or the freight company will not be held liable for any replacement costs.

Brockwell Incorporated is not liable for any lost freight during shipment.

You will have (15) days to file a claim, and the sooner you file a claim - the smoother the process will be.
