Costs

Costs depend on factors such as the weight and freight dimensions, shipping distance, chosen shipping method, carrier choice, additional services, customs and duties for international shipments, fuel surcharges, etc.

A good option to minimize costs is to reduce the handling time of freight, and shipping directly from the production plant to the job site is crucial in achieving this goal.

Material Acceptance

When receiving freight, customers play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth process. Their responsibilities include conducting a thorough inspection of delivered items for visible damage or discrepancies, verifying quantities against provided documentation, and accepting the delivery by signing the delivery receipt.

Damaged Freight

In reality, unforeseen events during shipping are rare. However, effective communication is crucial, involving prompt reporting of damages or shortages to both the carrier and shipper. It's advisable not to refuse the freight; instead, accept it while keeping meticulous records. Make notes on delivery receipts and capture photos of damages for future reference. Timely reporting and proactive follow-up on issues contribute to a transparent and efficient resolution process. These steps ensure that, despite occasional challenges, any freight issues are managed with thoroughness and diligence.

Our Responsibility

If everything has been documented according to the above shipping industry guidelines, damages will be promptly addressed. In such cases, a replacement material order will be processed immediately, with no liability to the customer. Proper documentation is a must to a swift and hassle-free resolution process.
