These pictures will be used later in the claims process as proof of carrier fault. If you are present at the time of the delivery, you must clearly write note about the damage on the POD before signing the POD for damage. The POD is the "Proof of Delivery" and acts as a delivery receipt for the goods being shipped. You could also choose to refuse the freight AFTER taking pictures and documenting the damage, in which case most carriers will send the damaged product back to the shipper for inspection. If damage is not noted on the POD or there is not any picture of the damage, the carrier will most likely deny your claim. Once you have taken photos and documented the damage, YOU MUST CONTACT US WITHIN 2 DAYS OF DELIVERY. If you or your client will be out of town or going on a vacation, let us know within 12 hours of the order confirmation and we can hold the order until you are back in town.
