The
cost of shipping must be added to each load and to each pallet unless you take
your order with you while visiting our warehouse. AML has established
discounts with many freight companies to provide the lowest
possible freight expense. The shipping cost is
collected in payment for merchandise in order to take advantage of the
discounts.
When
an "LTL" (Less Than Truckload) load is shipped, the freight company
assigns a pro number to the shipment. Most freight carriers
provide a tracking service and a 1-800 number. After 24 hours
of shipping the load, the pro number can be used to locate the
freight in transit.
PURCHASER
agrees that any and all claims for shortage of merchandise
shipped, shall be received by AML no more than ten days
following the date of shipment. AML shall have no
responsibility or liability for any such claims received after
such ten-day period. It shall be the responsibility of
PURCHASER to remove and verify the seal number placed on the
trailer door of full load shipments and obtain the driver's
signature certifying changes of the seal number, (if any).
It
shall be the responsibility of the buyer to resolve all
freight problems and/or claims directly with the freight
company. The appropriate authorities will govern all freight
discrepancies, following standard procedures.
Note:
After a shipment has been released to a carrier, the shipper
(AML) has limited control over the shipment. It's in the hands of
the carrier. Though most carriers are reliable, some will
offer faster service than others. The shipper is not always at
fault if a delivery is not on time.
Full
load shipments are sealed. A seal is placed on the trailer
door at the point of origin, to assure the receiver that the
doors have not been opened and the load has not been tampered
with. If the seal is not in tact, there is a possibility that
the doors to the trailer were opened before the truck arrived
at your location. This applies to full loads only.
