Projector Doctor is not responsible for damages during transit. A freight claim should be filed with the appropriate carrier.
Projector Doctor endeavors to use reliable and reputable carriers, but occasionally shipping damage does occur. Below are some valuable tips on how to proceed if your items are delivered damaged during transport.
Resolving the problem of transit damage or loss depends on the cooperation of all parties. All shipping damage claims must be made against the common carrier; therefore, it is imperative that you follow these guidelines:
-
Inspect all shipments upon arrival. If damage or loss is apparent upon delivery, do not accept the shipment until you make a notation of the damage on all copies of the carrier's pro bill and have the driver sign all copies to acknowledge the notation. Do not sign a clear receipt for damaged or missing cartons or there will be no basis for a claim. Ask the carrier to make a detailed inspection of the damage. File a claim with the carrier. Cooperate and follow up as necessary to secure final settlement.
-
Even if damages are acknowledged in writing by the driver, you must request an inspection by the carrier and retain the merchandise, carton, and package materials at the address to which shipment was made until the carrier authorizes movement. The carrier must provide you with an inspection report. In case of concealed damage, inspection must be requested within three (3) days of receipt of shipment (72 Hours).
-
Notify Projector Doctor in the event of transportation damage. Do not return the merchandise to Projector Doctor. File your claim with the carrier, enclosing copies of the bill of lading (signed by the driver) and inspection report as support. Keep all packing materials and boxes with the damaged product. Do not throw anything away. Although Projector Doctor will provide any assistance possible, we cannot be responsible for the actual filing of claims with the carrier or accept liability for non-collectable freight claims.
