1. SCHEDULE YOUR DELIVERY APPOINTMENT
Residential Addresses: All residential deliveries will require a delivery appointment.
Commercial Addresses: A delivery appointment is not required, but is highly recommended to ensure a proper inspection by responsible personnel.
*If you do not schedule a delivery appointment, your freight carrier will arrive without notice with your toolbox, and expect that you will be present for inspection.
This step is usually performed directly after your shipping notification is received.
2. PREPARE YOUR RECEIVING AREA
To make the inspection process go as smoothly as possible, please have the tools listed below available as soon as the carrier reaches the delivery point:
- • LARGE FLAT-HEAD SCREWDRIVER, PRY BAR or CLAW HAMMER
- • BOX CUTTER
- • WORK GLOVES
- • CAMERA or SMARTPHONE CAMERA
- • ASSISTANT (RECOMMENDED)
- • CELL PHONE**
Freight carrier drivers typically have 7 – 15 minutes to make a delivery; freight drivers are under no obligation to offer assistance.
3. INSPECT THE OUTER PACKAGING
Use your CAMERA to photograph any damage, and take notes. Examples of damage include, but are not limited to:
- • BOX CAVING IN, BENT TRIM
- • HOLES OR TEARS IN CARDBOARD
- • HOLES CREATED BY A FORKLIFT
- • ANY EXPOSED METAL
- • DAMAGE TO BASE
- • “NO-STACK” CONE ON CARDBOARD PACKAGING IS DESTROYED OR MISSING
In most cases, the outer packaging may display minor damage from general shipping conditions. Any marks or damage on the packaging you see, no matter how trivial, is enough to warrant a complete inspection of your tool box.
4. REMOVE STRAPS AND ACCESSORY
Cut the straps with the BOX CUTTER; Avoid cutting the straps that enclose the accessory carton
Have an ASSISTANT or use a forklift help you lift the hutch or accessory off the crate, then carefully place it aside
