Delivery/installation
The period between the placement of the order and the installation of the
equipment may vary. During this time, you should prepare the
installation site. This will help prevent unexpected problems on
installation day.
NOTE: All site preparation should be completed in advance of the
equipment delivery.
Kodak must be notified in advance of any special site requirements.
These requirements include special delivery procedures, time
restrictions and security clearance.
Inspecting shipment
The customer is responsible for inspecting the shipment and signing the
Bill of Lading. The following inspections should be performed:
•
Check for complete shipment
•
Inspect the carton(s) for damage
•
Check for signs of pilferage
•
Note any concerns and sign the Bill of Lading
Partial shipment
— when the shipment arrives, check the number of
pieces against the number of pieces specified in the Bill of Lading. If a
portion of the shipment is missing, this must be noted in the
Exceptions
column on the Bill of Lading. The driver should sign the same
Exceptions
column on the customer copy of the Bill of Lading. A copy of
the Bill of Lading must be retained for claims purposes.
Inspection of cartons
— while the equipment is still crated, carefully
inspect each carton for signs of damage. Examples of shipping damage
include:
•
Cuts
•
Dents
•
Crushed cartons
•
Punctures
•
Scrapes
•
Wet cartons (including those that were wet but have dried out and
have watermarks)
Signs of pilferage
— if any carton shows signs of pilferage at the time
of receipt, (i.e., the carton was opened, resealed, torn, or had a hole at
the time of delivery), the customer should also state this in the
Exceptions
column on the Bill of Lading.
