Larger items that require common carrier trucking require a custom shipping quote. These common carrier items will be shipped as curbside service. (They will not deliver inside your location)
Every TRUVU product, shipped out of our factory, is checked by a supervisor, foreman and packer. When merchandise is picked up, by the shipping company, the general condition of the packaging is inspected by the driver. The driver signs for the merchandise, thereby releasing TRUVU from further liability for the merchandise. Although damage, incurred in shipping, is uncommon, you must know the proper procedures and your rights if damage does occur.
1. Open and Inspect your order, prior to signing the delivery receipt!
The shipping company, entrusted with your merchandise, is responsible for damages or loss; however, you waive that liability when you sign for and accept delivery. Don’t be rushed or intimidated by a driver who insists you sign before inspecting the merchandise. Remove the protective packing and thoroughly inspect your order for damage or missing pieces prior to signing. Even when packaging appears to be in good condition, concealed damage may be present. Remember the shipper, not TRUVU, is responsible for delivery of your merchandise.
2. Damage
Have the driver note the damage on the Bill of Lading, file a damage claim with the carrier and report the damage to TRUVU, at once!
3. Third party receiver
When you allow a neighbor, relative or contractor to sign for your TRUVU product, and they fail to inspect it and note damage, you lose the rights you would have had if you had inspected and signed for the merchandise yourself.
