Overages, Shortages and Damages (OSD)
Since Title To and Risk of Loss for goods passes to the customer upon acceptance of the goods from the carrier, it is critical that the customer inspect the goods for visible damage before signing and accepting delivery. If damage or shortages are suspected, inspect all items immediately to validate condition and accuracy before signing the Delivery Receipt.
Overages and Shortages
Notate any shortages or overages on the Delivery Receipt before signing and immediately contact Customer Service for assistance at 1-800-274-6848.
When making notation on the Delivery Receipt, use specific details and avoid general or generic terms such as “Short Product” or “Missing Item.”
Example of Proper Notation: Missing 3 of item XXXXX
Overages and Shortages
Although we do our best to partner with carriers that deliver your products in a timely and damage free manner, accidents do happen. Sometimes the outer carton or crate might look damaged but the product is unaffected. If you suspect that a product was damaged in transit, open and complete a detailed inspection.
Visible Damage
If visible loss or damage is apparent at the time of delivery it should be specifically noted on the Delivery Receipt.
- When making a notation on the Delivery Receipt, use specific details and avoid general or generic terms such as “box damage”, “torn” or “subject to inspection.”
- Example of Proper Notation: Box 2 of 2, item XXXXX has crushed outer corner
