SHIPPING & RECEIVING

Pine’s Limited Warranty does not cover damage during shipping. Therefore, Pine strongly recommends protecting your financial interests by performing a complete visual inspection of a machine before signing for its receipt. Carriers take the position that a signed bill of lading without written comments noting damage means the shipment arrived undamaged. Carriers assume that any visibly apparent damage identified at a later time was caused by the Buyer.

If no apparent damage to machine, take pictures, describe damage on bill of lading, unload delivery, and sign bill of lading.
