INFORMATION REQUIRED

1. Van-Packer must receive complete and accurate shipment information at time of release for production. Van-Packer will not be responsible for additional charges incurred to correct or change shipment information.
   1. Charges for re-consignment or re-delivery will be billed to the purchaser.
   2. Charges for lift gate deliveries will be billed to the purchaser.
2. Purchased parts, such as barometric dampers, bellows expansion joints, and pressure relief valves, may ship direct from the manufacturer. We recommend having these items shipped to a contractor’s shop or office instead of a job site where they may get misplaced.

FREIGHT DAMAGE or SHORTAGES

1. All damages or shortages MUST be noted on the delivery receipt.
   1. If damage is noted at time of receipt, Van-Packer will file the damage claim and replace the damaged parts at no charge.
   2. If damage is not noted at time of receipt, your customer will be responsible for the damage claim and you will be charged for the replacement parts. Van-Packer cannot file a damage claim if the damage is not noted on the shipping receipt.

Note: Trucking companies will not accept “subject to inspection” on a delivery receipt as a reason to reimburse the contractor for damaged freight. The freight must be inspected thoroughly at the time of delivery, even if it holds up the driver. Any damage must be noted on the delivery receipt, no exceptions.

                3. Van-Packer is not responsible for lost or misplaced items.
