A signature is required upon delivery of freight shipments. Before signing the freight bill of lading, please inspect the shipment for damages and shortages. Please make sure you note any damages on the bill of lading. It is your responsibility to verify the condition of the merchandise that you receive. You are responsible for freight damage if you do not indicate any such damage on the bill of lading when you sign for your shipment. If the shipment is accepted, make sure to note any damage on the bill of lading before signing. When you take delivery of a freight shipment, we encourage you to inspect the product thoroughly to the point of opening the packaging if necessary, prior to signing the bill of lading. If heavy damage is noticed, you have the option of refusing the shipment.
