AAA Im ports 407-884-0078 March 2012 Page 3 Shipping of Goods & Damage Claims We have long offered a service to arrange freight for those of you who do not use Plant Transportation Carriers to transport your orders. We would like to continue to offer this service for you but the trucking companies have set specifi c time limits upon us as to how long we have to report damage claims and shortage claims. EVERYONE must abide by them. That includes AAA Imports and all of our customers that we arrange freight service for. Therefore, if you need to report a Claim for breakage or shortage of goods, that claim must be reported to AAA Imports within TEN DAYS of receiving your shipment! If you notice shortage of goods or damage to your shipment the day of delivery REPORT IT TO THE DRIVER! This way it can be notated on your Bill of Lading. The trucking companies will not accept any claims older than ten days after receipt of delivery. Something that AAA Imports has been doing to make sure our shipments have not been tampered with; all palletized shipments are shrink-wrapped and have a colored tape wrapped around the entire pallet. If that shrink wrap or tape is disturbed in any way, than clearly that shipment has been tampered with once it left our warehouse. This is something that you should report to AAA IMPORTS right away. TammyP Temple of Confucius Melamine Planters These planters are cute and sure to make anyone smile when they receive them with a small plant in them. You might plant a miniature rose, ivy or cactus.
