What about damaged freight?
We package our drum handlers to resist damage during transit, and use specially designed export crates for international shipments.

Truck lines are becoming more and more restrictive with freight claims. Following some simple procedures can help dramatically.

Receiving dock procedures: A few steps will avert many problems, and minimize the expenses, delays and hassles if complications do arise.

1. Check for visible damage. If you choose to accept damaged freight, always sign noting the damage on the dock receipt.

2. Document the damage and have the truck driver sign. We recommend keeping a digital camera at your receiving dock for this purpose.

3. Open packages expeditiously to check the condition of the goods. There is a 24 hour window to notify the carrier of any concealed damage.

4. immediately report all damage to the truck line, and then contact your supplier for assistance with your freight claim.

5. Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for any damaged freight that is not signed for as damaged.

If delivery will be to a residential address, it is imperative that you so specify at the time you place an order. Delivery to non-business addresses without a loading dock result in additional freight charges. Residential delivery fees, inside delivery fees, re-delivery charges, and lift gate services will be added by the truck line, and are non-negotiable.
