• NOTATE the Bill of Lading. Damages not noted at time of delivery may not be covered for refund or replacement.
• Only REFUSE material that is damaged on arrival. We recommend that you accept the intact portion of your shipment and refuse the amount that is damaged. This will help us expedite the replacement process for damaged goods
• DO NOT DISCARD the damaged material. Once reported, the damaged material is the property of the carrier and they have 30 days to decide if they wish to inspect, pick-up or discard the material.
• NOTIFY us immediately. You have 3 business days to acknowledge a claim. Email us at info@arkoflooring.com  Refer to our Freight Claims Policy (below) for complete details.
