Comprehensive Guide for Receiving Your Shipment from MRCOOL DIY Direct
At MRCOOL DIY Direct, our top priority is to ensure that your orders are delivered safely and efficiently. We understand that receiving large shipments, especially those delivered by freight carriers, can be unfamiliar territory for many of our customers. To help you navigate this process smoothly and ensure your products arrive in perfect condition, we’ve outlined a detailed guide below.
- How We Ship Your Order
The majority of our products are shipped via trusted freight carriers. We take great care in securing your items on a skid, strapping them firmly, and protecting them with our signature blue shrink wrap. These precautions are designed to ensure that your order arrives in the same condition it left our facility.
Once your order is ready for delivery, the freight company may contact you using the phone number provided at checkout to schedule a convenient delivery appointment. In some cases, to expedite the process, your order might be left at the specified delivery address without prior scheduling if deemed safe.
**Steps to Ensure a Successful Delivery**
To help you properly receive and inspect your shipment, please follow these important steps:
- Prepare for Delivery
- **Expect a Call**: Be on the lookout for a call from the freight carrier to arrange a delivery time that works for you. If you won’t be available to receive the shipment, consider designating someone trustworthy to do so on your behalf.
- **Clear the Area**: Ensure the delivery area is accessible and clear of obstacles, allowing the driver to easily unload your shipment.
- Inspect Before Signing
- **Thorough Inspection**: Upon delivery, before signing any paperwork, carefully inspect the entire shipment. Start by removing any cardboard packaging to check for concealed damage that might not be immediately visible.
- **Look for Signs of Damage**: Pay close attention to any tears, dents, or other indications that the shipment may have been mishandled during transit.
- Assume Responsibility Upon Signing
- **Understand the Implications**: Once you sign for the delivery, responsibility for the condition of the shipment transfers to you. This means that any damage discovered after signing will be your responsibility to address.
- **Consider Refusal**: If you notice significant damage that might affect the functionality of the product, it’s within your rights to refuse the delivery. Notify the delivery driver and make a note of the damage on the receipt before they leave.
- Conduct a Detailed Inspection
- **Inspect with the Driver Present**: We highly recommend conducting a detailed inspection of your shipment while the delivery driver is still present. Open the packaging and thoroughly check the items to ensure they’re in good condition.
**Avoid Quick Signatures: Do not be pressured into signing the delivery receipt quickly. Take your time to inspect the shipment fully, as signing absolves the freight company of any responsibility for damages.
- What to Do if You Notice Damage After Delivery
- **Prompt Inspection After Unattended Delivery**: If your shipment is left in your absence, inspect it as soon as possible upon your return. Should you discover any damage, contact us immediately for guidance on the next steps.
- **Document the Damage**: Take clear photos of any damage you find and note the time and date of your inspection. This documentation will be crucial for any claims process.
