| Do's and Don'ts of Freight Claims |
- DO:
Pay Freightquote.com for the freight charges before forwarding or
faxing the required documents. The carrier requires freight charges to
be paid in full prior to processing a claim.
- DO:
Notify our office immediately if damage is found after delivery. The
carrier must be notified to make a request for inspection.
- DO NOT: Dispose of damaged merchandise or packaging until instructed by the carrier or Freightquote.com.
|
| Please be Aware: |
| In
the event of damage, it is the consignee's duty by law to reduce the
carrier's loss in any way possible. Permission is needed from the
carrier to effect repairs, when possible, provided such action does
reduce loss. |
|
- Carriers have 30 days in which to acknowledge a claim.
- Carriers have 120 days to process a claim to resolution.
- When multiple parties are involved, the resolution time may be longer.
- An inspection report does not serve as a claim nor is it an acknowledgement of liability of the carrier.
