Receiving a Shipments
Shipper and/or Payer of this shipment agrees to instruct Consignee on proper procedures on receiving freight shipment. If you are receiving the shipment: NOTE: In signing the Delivery Receipt before examining shipment, Consignee is agreeing that there is no damages and/or shortages to the freight and in doing so may jeopardize being able to file a damage claim later. As per the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, if no damages and/or shortages exceptions are noted on the Delivery Receipt, the claim will be considered “Concealed” and a written notice must be sent to the motor carrier directly within 5 business days from the date of delivery. This notice is to advise the carrier that damages and/or shortages were found AFTER the delivery took place. This notice must be in writing via mail or email and must be sent by the customer. Carriers have a policy that they may only pay half the value of a claim when the Delivery Receipt has been signed without damages and/or shortages noted on it. So any damages and/or shortages must be noted on the “delivery receipt” before signing. If any box or crate looks damaged, consignee must note that “packaging looks damaged so possible damaged may have occurred”. If damage is obvious, note all damage before signing. If the item is totally destroyed, you can refuse the shipment and refuse to sign anything. If driver won’t wait for inspection, note “driver could not wait for inspection, possible damage”. Remember, if concealed damage is discovered, the carrier must be notified within 5 business days in writing. If damage is noted on delivery receipt, you have several months to file a claim. To clarify Notice: The written notice may simply be a brief statement to any contact with the motor carrier: For example: “A claim will be filed on PRO # (the carrier provided Pro# or tracking#), but please consider this email a written notice of concealed damages and/or shortage within 5 business days from date of delivery.”
