Luke, When you first posted I forwarded your request to our warehouse manager, who's quite experienced. He didn't receive any of the responses from other Wrenches, but sent this to me this morning: Inspect it immediately for obvious signs of

Wrenches, Thanks to everyone who responded to my Freight Damage post. I wouldn't wish freight nightmares on anyone, but it is somewhat comforting to hear that most folks have run into this problem over the years. The major takeaway seems to be that there is no substitute for a thorough

Wrenches, We have been in business for about 8 years, and up until now, the shipping gods have smiled upon me, but apparently my luck has run out, as I've had 2 costly shipping nightmares within a month, and I'm just wondering what other Wrenches have done to protect themselves from the

I has been our experience that just about EVERY freight damage claim is initially denied. They like to negotiate with you and give you a settlement offer. We make a good visual inspection, and if there is so much as a scratch or grease mark on the wrap, we note possible hidden damage. We

Hey Luke, Was it Saia?? We have had 2 claims this season as well. Similar fork issue. One was a transfer from Saia to another freight company to us. According to the driver, it arrived that morning damaged on the dock and they are obliged to deliver it regardless. The other directly from
