IMPORTANT
This merchandise has been thoroughly inspected and
carefully packed before leaving our plant.
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the
carrier at the time of shipment. Claims for loss or
damage to the contents should, therefore, be made
upon the carrier, as follows:
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the
merchandise has been unpacked. The contents may
be damaged in transit due to rough handling even
though the carton may not show external damage.
When the damage is discovered upon unpacking,
make a written request for inspection by the carrier’s
agent within fifteen days of the delivery date. Then file
a claim with the carrier since such damage is the
carrier’s responsibility. By following these instructions
carefully, we guarantee our full support of your claims
to protect you against loss from concealed damage.
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be
noted on the freight bill or express receipt, and signed
by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe
such external evidence of loss or damage may result
in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. The
form required to file such a claim will be supplied by
the carrier.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE
TO KEATING. FILE YOUR CLAIM AS ABOVE.
