The Stock Market must file a freight
claim within 15 days (including weekends and holidays), so it's critical
that you report the damage as quickly as possible.
- Remember to thoroughly inspect all of your shipments. Inspections
can save you a lot of time and money.
- Report damaged shipments to the Stock Market immediately. It is always helpful to return a written statement from
the customer with your report.
- If you have a camera, take a picture of the damaged item.
- If you sign "damaged" and keep the shipment, keep all packaging and
make careful notes of the exact damage. Some carriers will send a representative
to inspect the damage.
- If you refuse the shipment, make sure the problem is noted on the
proof of delivery (POD). Then, notify us of the damage immediately.
If material is refused or signed for damaged, reimbursement is typically
100 percent, however, remember that the carrier may not pay if they do
not feel they're responsible for the damage.
