What should I check for when receiving and signing for a shipment?
- Verify the number of cartons received compared to the freight bill count.
- Inspect all packages prior to signing for the delivery. If you sign for the delivery without noting damage, you have accepted a damaged piece of equipment and will be involved in resolving the problem of the damage.
- After uncrating the product and finding damage, please report this immediately to US Foods.
- Do not move the merchandise from the location.
- Save all of the carton and packing materials if any inspection will be required.
How can I determine if there is freight damage?
- Watch for crushed corners, puncture holes, and/or broken pallets, as these may indicate damage to the merchandise inside.
- If you find even the slightest damage, note "damaged shipment" on the freight bill and have the driver acknowledge the damage by signing all copies of the freight bill. Keep a copy and call US Foods immediately.
- It is in your best interest to uncrate and inspect the merchandise immediately.
What are my delivery options if a product is not stocked at my US Foods™ division?
- Tailgate Deliveries: The driver will only be responsible for bringing the equipment to the back of the truck and will not assist in unloading the equipment.
- Loading Dock Deliveries: The truck will bring your product up to your loading dock. You or your employees are responsible for unloading product.
- Optional Lift Gate Deliveries: The independent commercial truck will deliver the merchandise in a truck that has a lift gate. Your product will be lowered to ground level for you or your employees to bring into your business. Additional charges may be applied to your delivery.
- Call Before Delivery: The independent carrier will contact you before delivery to let you know what day they will make the delivery. The truck company can not make an appointment for a specific time of the day but can sometimes narrow it down to a window time such as 8:00AM to 12:00PM.
- Inside Deliveries: In the case of heavy items that you can not move into your building without assistance, please advise your Territory Manager so that arrangements can be made. Additional charges may be applied to your delivery.
- Disposal of old equipment: Your shipping costs do not include the removal of old equipment. Special arrangements must be made through your Territory Manager for removal of old equipment.
- Set-in-Place Delivery: If you need a piece of equipment unloaded, uncrated, assembled, and moved into the final position, this should be communicated to your Territory Manager. Arrangements should also be made with a local plumber, gas, or electrical company to ensure proper installation of equipment.
