If the crates looked good upon arrival, I would say the shipper is responsible, not the carrier. If the carrier mishandled them, the crates would most likely be damaged. The shipper is the one that secured them in the crates. If the engines were damaged and not the crates, then the engines were not secured properly in the crates. It's easier to go after the shipper since when you signed the bill of lading you only agreed that the crates looked undamaged when they arrived. The carrier will not let you open them to inspect the freight until you sign.

Shipping
I ship engines daily with many ltl carrriers. First, you must class the product correctly and insure the shipment for replacement value. I have had claims with all carriers. Some worked out better than others. Most of the time they want to repair the product, which is not an option with my products. I usually submit a retail bill and get reimbursed enough to replace the product. YOU MUST have pictures of the damage and have the damage noted by the driver upon delivery on the bill of laden. If you do not do this........you are screwed no matter what. I do so much shipping, my local sales rep. will usually step in and help out.

Just from the limited info I can gather here, if the crates didn't have a scratch on them, it wasn't the carriers fault. Trust me if a carrier usually tears up something you will know it, Forklift forks run through crates, crates smashed, and so on.
It appears to me the damage was due to poor packing???? However I got to be honest with you, those look like pretty expensive motors, I would have never sent them motor freight. :eek: |
