Freight & Shipping

FREIGHT RECEIVING AND DAMAGES:

Freight shipments are larger and more expensive than ground shipment, so they require special handling. Shipping damages are fairly common when transporting large items like whiteboards and chalkboards. If an item arrives with damage, we will be happy to replace it provided you follow these simple steps.       

1. Customers must thoroughly inspect all items for freight damage, shortage or any other issues before accepting delivery.
2. Before signing for the merchandise, make careful and clear notation of all damages, shortages or any other issues on the bill of lading or delivery receipt.
3. OptiMA, Inc. must be notified immediately and no later than 96 hours after deliveries. 
4. Retain all shipping cartons for inspection by the carrier agent including any photos and documentation.   
5. For concealed damages, please follow steps 3 through 4. Caution, if OptiMA is not notified within 96 hours, OptiMA, the carrier or vendor will not be obligated for any claim reimbursement.
6. Refused Shipments:  For shipments refused due to damage, please follow steps 3 through 4.

Your signature on Bill of Lading or delivery receipt shows acceptance of all listed items delivered in good condition. If freight damages or shortages do occur, OptiMA must be notified within 96 hours after deliveries.
