Shipping Claims
While it would be ideal to open each box individually and confirm you received the right items in perfect condition, you can't expect the driver to wait while you do that. He has places to go and products to deliver!
However, here's what you can do:
• Inspect the outside of each box/bag. Note on the bill of lading which boxes are damaged and how. Be specific with descriptions like "box has crushed corner" or "bag has hole on long side"; and TAKE PICTURES.
• Look at the stretch wrap. Our stretch wrap is unique with the Fermob Logo on it, this is so that it is easy to tell if the pallet has been re-wrapped before delivery. was used to package the boxes on the pallets, look to see if there are any places where the stretch wrap was torn or pulled away. These could be signs that part of your shipment is missing.
• Count. Make sure the quantities delivered match the bill of lading. If you received a pallet shipment, don't just count the pallets. Count the boxes on each pallet.
Should there be a problem with your shipment, and you need to file a claim, all the information, documentation and pictures must be submitted to use within five days so that we may file with the appropriate carrier. If you find damage to your delivery after the driver leaves, submit your information as soon as possible to customerservice@fermobusa.com each freight company has different windows of opportunity for filing claims, but sooner is always better.
At the time of delivery, all boxes should be inspected for suspected damage. If a box shows any damage, the box should be opened for further inspection before the trucker leaves the premises. Damages to any items or boxes delivered MUST be noted on the delivery receipt or bill of lading when you sign to accept the order. Failure to do so often results in refusal of a claim.
If a severe damage to the product is visible upon delivery, please reject the item from the carrier. This will expedite the claim process.
When concealed damage occurs, Shippers normally pay about 10% of the products’ value & must be filed with pictures to the carrier within 3 business days of delivery.
Photos of the damaged pallet, damaged box(es), and damaged product should be taken to carefully document the claim. The more information provided, the more likely your claim will be accepted.
Please retain all packaging materials of damaged items for a minimum of 45 days; this is required, should the carrier elect to inspect the merchandise.
