POSSIBLE TYPES OF DAMAGE
Two types of possible damage can exist, as follows:
•
External (noted) damage:damage is visible on the packages and there may or may not be actual
damage to the contents of the packages. This type of damage is a consequence of bad transporta-
tion.
•
Internal (concealed) damage: no damage is visible on the packages however there is actual damage
to the contents of the packages. This type of damage is a consequence of bad manufacturing.
The illustration on the below summarizes the general process to determine:
•
whether any of the Senographe components are damaged
•
the cause (and liability) of possible damage
•
whether you have to make a claim for damage with the carrier company
•
