Shipment Inspection
Please inspect your shipment before signing the carrier’s Proof of Delivery (POD).
At the time of delivery, customers should check for:
-
Visible damage to the product, packaging, pallet, or crate
-
Missing items or shortages
-
Incorrect products or quantities
Any visible damage, shortage, or delivery discrepancy should be clearly noted on the POD before signing and reported to VITLIFE AMERICA LLC within 24 hours.
Signing the POD without noting visible damage may make it more difficult to file a freight damage claim with the carrier.
Hidden Damage (Damage Discovered After Delivery)
Any damage discovered after unpacking that was not visible at the time of delivery should be reported within 3 business days and no later than 5 business days after delivery.
Customers should:
-
Keep all original packaging.
-
Take photographs of the product, packaging, and damage.
-
Provide supporting information if requested.
Failure to retain original packaging may affect claim eligibility.
Please contact us as soon as possible so we can help determine the best solution.
Additional Charges After Shipment
Additional charges resulting from customer-requested services, delivery delays, failed delivery attempts, or inaccurate delivery information may be billed separately after shipment.
Order Acceptance
By placing an order, the customer acknowledges and agrees to the terms of this LTL Shipping Policy.
