Inspection of Shipments:

On delivery, the carrier will provide you with a delivery receipt. It is vital that you verify that you have received the correct product, count the number of pieces being delivered, and inspect for damages prior to signing this document. No claims for incorrect or missing merchandise can be made unless it is recorded on this delivery receipt. Claims for concealed damages (damages that are not visually apparent through packaging) must be reported at time of delivery with some carriers, so it is imperative that you inspect your shipment for concealed damages at time of delivery. Smart Benches LLC cannot be responsible for shipments not inspected by the customer at time of delivery. Damage, error, and shortage claims must be reported within 48 hours of delivery. Once you report a claim, you should keep all packaging and paperwork until the inspection process is completed If you have a camera (preferably digital) at hand, please take a photograph of the damage. Our freight carriers will work expediently with us to replace or repair any damaged product. Photographs and the appropriate documentation will streamline the process.
