Before you Begin
The shipment should be thoroughly inspected as
soon as it is received. The signed bill of lading is
acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good con-
ditions of the shipment covered by our invoice. If any of
the goods called for on this bill of lading are shorted or
damaged, do not accept them until the carrier makes a
notation on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged
goods. Do this for your own protection.
NOTIFY THE CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss
or damage is discovered after receipt and ask the car-
rier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not do so,
prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have
notified the carrier (on a specific date) and that the car-
rier has failed to comply with your request.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAM-
AGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR
RECEIPT.
File your claim with the carrier promptly. Support
your claim with copies of the bill of lading, freight bill,
invoice, and photographs, if available.
Although COATS responsibility ceases upon delivery
of the shipment to the carrier, we will gladly assist in
tracing lost shipments. Our willingness to assist in
every possible manner does not make COATS respon-
sible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or
damaged materials. Shipping damage claims will not
be handled under warranty.
