Please note the damages on the signed copy of the waybill and ensure that the driver clearly understands that you are signing the goods as "Damaged Goods".

  • Test the machine and ensure that internally the machine has not been damaged.
  • Should the machine be damaged then the shipping representative must have an inspection agent (or employee) come out to view and report the damages. Typically. 8-10 Business Days.

Upon acceptance of the damages (usually the form of claim number) and following compensation paid to the customer, (which could take between 3 and 5 weeks) then a replacement machine will be sent out with shipping charges not included.

Note: no replacement machines can send out without full payment being received for the replacement machine. Compensation of the damaged machine is the responsibility of the shipping company.
