The 4 Best Ways to Receive Freight for Furniture Delivery

Whether you are an Interior Designer in need of furniture delivery or a project manager in charge of the FF&E for hotel installations, there are four ways to protect your investment and ensure that you and your clients can enjoy the purchased items. By taking a few extra minutes when your freight (one piece or a large order) is received can help any claims that may arise. Find out what we do at Unique Deliveries to ensure every delivery is a success:

1. Look in the Truck

While your freight is still secured in the truck, step inside the back of the truck and inspect it.

  • Look for any damages that pertain to the transportation of the freight.
  • Inspect the packaging of the product and make sure it looks in good shape.

2. Look at the Notes

Once the freight is safely unloaded, look over the bill of lading papers and review for:

  • Notes pertaining to prior damages of the shipment.
  • Properly filled out paperwork that includes readable names of the shipper, driver and carrier.

3. Review the Freight for Visible Damage

Open the package and take a careful look to see if damage occurred to the freight during transit. If there is damage:

  • Make notes on the bill of lading that states there is visible damage.
  • Take pictures of the damage and packaging.
  • Keep the bill of lading and the original packaging so there are no questions during your claim.
