Signature Requirement
Unless otherwise requested by Customer, a signature will not be required at delivery for non-LTL shipments.
Pre-Paid Shipping
RBW offers prepaid shipping quotes. RBW will ship Products in accordance with delivery instructions provided by the Customer, using shipping companies and freight forwarders deemed reliable by RBW and based on, among other things, the destination, weight, and package dimensions. Although RBW attempts to give reasonable estimates of anticipated delivery dates, actual delivery dates might be subject to circumstances beyond RBW’s control, including delays caused by governmental inspections, shipping, and events in the country of origin of the goods sold.
Customer pickup
Shipping terms are FOB Origin. If Customer notifies RBW that they wish to arrange for shipping and delivery, Customer may specify a preferred carrier and provide Customer’s account information for direct billing by the carrier to Customer. In such an event, the Customer is fully responsible for tracking, claiming damage, and ensuring insurance, and RBW shall have no liability whatsoever after the Product has been picked up by the Customer’s carrier. If RBW deems the Customer's specified shipping method to be inappropriate for safe delivery (according to product dimensions, fragility, or other reasons), RBW may refuse to permit the Customer’s requested shipping arrangement. All fees for failed deliveries due to the fault of the Customer or the Product recipient are non-refundable.
Inspection
We ensure our products leave our dock in perfect condition. To ensure your order has not arrived with any damage during transit, it is advised to immediately inspect your shipment upon receipt.
Shipment Damage
For Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipments, if a shipment were to arrive with obvious and apparent damage, the Customer must note the damage on the carrier’s copy of the Bill of Lading (BOL) and notify the driver. If a paper copy of the BOL is not available, Customer must report damage directly to the driver to properly document the damage and begin the claims process. Failure to do so will void your claim.
For all damaged LTL and small parcel shipments, the Customer must notify RBW within 3 business days by sending your Sales Order Number and the following documentation to support@rbw.com
- A photo showing the damaged item and how it was packaged inside the box
- A photo of the damaged item
- A photo of the packaging material used
- A close-up photo of the shipping label with the tracking number or PRO number
- A close-up photo of the box manufacturer’s certificate (round stamp on the outside of box)
- For non-LTL shipments, two photos showing all six sides of the package (one showing the top and two sides, another showing the bottom and opposite sides)
- For LTL shipments, take a photo of the damaged skid before unpacking
Claims for concealed damage, where internal damage with no obvious external damage was found, can be submitted as long as RBW is notified within 30 calendar days of delivery receipt. For these claims, Customer must send the following documentation to support@rbw.com:
- A photo showing the damaged item and how it was packaged inside the box.
- A photo of the damaged item.
- A close-up photo of the shipping label with a tracking number or PRO number
All claims will be acknowledged within one business day and RBW will work with you until a resolution is reached. Until the claim is resolved, you must keep all original packaging and damaged goods for instances where a carrier’s inspection may be required.
Missing Product Claims
Any missing product claims must be made within 30 calendar days of receipt by sending an email to support@rbw.com.
