If the shipment shows visible signs of damage, it is recommended that you open the delivery in the presence of the delivery person. Make sure there is no concealed damage. In particular, check whether the contents are damaged or missing.
By signing, the recipient confirms not only the receipt of the goods but also the externally correct condition of the shipping or transport packaging, without any visible defects. Therefore, always have the delivery person immediately draw up a damage report. Have them describe all damage to the packaging and delivered items in detail and have them list all missing items precisely. Photographs of the damaged items or shipments have proven useful as evidence.Otherwise, claims for damages arising from transport damage are excluded.
Concealed transport damage
Concealed transport damage occurs when the outer packaging appears undamaged, but the contents are damaged.
Please inspect the goods immediately upon receipt. Hidden transport damage occurs when it is only discovered after acceptance of the shipment. The recipient must report the damage by fax within 48 hours of receiving the goods.
Our employee will then contact the recipient immediately to initiate further steps.
Defects discovered later that result from improper handling during transport will no longer be recognized or compensated by insurance companies. The same applies to missing outer and shipping packaging.
Please do not accept any shipment marked "subject to review"!
