COMMON CARRIER SHIPMENTS
All shipments are FOB our warehouse. If instructions are not given, it is understood that we are to decide how the order is to be packed and shipped. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CEASES WITH DELIVERY OF THE MERCHANDISE IN GOOD ORDER TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMPANY. The bill of lading for each shipment shows the number of packages picked up by the freight company and the consignee should be sure that the same number of packages are signed for. If shortages occur, they should be noted on the receipt and handled as a claim with the freight company after a reasonable amount of time has been allowed for the freight company to complete the shipment.

FREIGHT CLAIMS
If there is evidence of damage or shortage, THESE SHOULD BE NOTED ON THE FREIGHT BILL and reported before the bill is signed. ALL COMMON CARRIER SHIPMENTS MUST BE ACCEPTED, REGARDLESS OF CONDITION. If desired, we will cooperate with the customer to obtain adjustments from the transportation company, however, the claim must be filed by the consignee, not the shipper. The one exception to this is a lost or damaged UPS shipment. If this should happen, please notify us immediately so that we can file the claim.
