Note: Failure on your part to follow these instructions may affect the costs for delivery and replacement for damaged goods.

Motor Freight: Inspect the shipment immediately following delivery for damage. The driver must note all damaged cartons or shortages on the bill of lading and or delivery receipt before you sign for the shipment.

UPS or FedEx Shipments: Inspect the shipment immediately following delivery for damage. Note all damage on the receipt and have the driver initial before you sign the receipt. Do not remove any damaged merchandise from the original carton until an inspection has been made or waived by the shipping company.

Buyer should count and thoroughly inspect all items for shipping damage before accepting delivery. If there is a shortage, please note the shortage on the delivery receipt. Note visible damage on the delivery receipt and show the driver. If damage has occurred, report this to WB Manufacturing immediately. If it appears that damage could be possible, insist that the carton be opened and contents inspected by the driver. You have the right to accept partial shipments and refuse the remaining damaged units. Do not accept shipments of severely damaged items. Important: A clear receipt for a shipment in which there is damaged merchandise or a shortage relieves the carrier of further responsibility.

Merchandise title passes from WB Manufacturing to the consignee upon delivery to the carrier. It is your responsibility to turn the freight claim in for the damaged merchandise, including the cost of the shipment. This is the only way you can receive payment for merchandise damaged in transit.

Before purchase and use of product, please review the product application, and national and local codes and regulations, and be sure that the product, installation and use will comply with them.
