Do You Follow Proper Protocol?

Do You Follow Proper Protocol?

Recognized as the timeliest and most cost effective solution, freight shipping is seen as more of a necessity than an option now-a-days; but that doesn’t mean that taking this route comes without disadvantages. The one major downside to utilizing freight is the vulnerability your packages stand to getting damaged along the way. 由于货运协议, there are ways to receive compensation and proper responsibility of these items – just as long as every party involved plays by the rules – and that doesn’t always happen.

作为适当的协议, it’s the duty for the receiver of freight to examine the packaging for any potential damage before signing for it. If damage is detected, they must physically write that it looks damaged when they sign it. 这样做的时候, the freight company is made aware of this and it is now their responsibility to compensate the sender and, 在某些情况下, even return the goods back to the sender. It’s a transparent and honest process since the freight company knows that what happened is most likely their own fault. Compensation is sent right away and so is the new package.

Now let’s consider a scenario where the package is signed for prior to detecting the fact that it’s damaged. 在这种情况下, there are many more hoops to jump through for the sender because responsibility of freight switches from the freight company to the receiver the moment it’s been signed for. The sender must reach out to the receiver, who then reaches out to the freight company in order to make a claim. While proper compensation may still be granted, it can take up to a month to straighten out the situation, versus the immediate attention that is granted when following proper protocol. 除了, if the sender waits too long to report the damaged package to anyone, then no compensation can be granted because it’s too hard to prove who’s at fault at that point.
