Freight Deliveries
- IMPORTANT: INSPECT YOUR ORDER FOR DAMAGE BEFORE ACCEPTING DELIVERY.
- Once you sign for the delivery, you are accepting the shipment AS IS and take responsibility for any damage. If you sign for the shipment and later find something is damaged, the freight company will deny your claim.
- If you notice damage to the packaging and/or product(s), make a note on the delivery receipt BEFORE signing it.
- If it is severely damaged you can refuse delivery and the shipment will be returned to Univair. Once we receive the item(s), we will contact you regarding a refund or replacement.
FedEx and UPS Deliveries
- We do not require a signature for FedEx and UPS shipments, however we recommend that you be present at time of delivery to inspect your packages for damage.
- Claims for lost or damaged items must be made with Univair as soon as possible.
- We will require photos of the damage before we start the claims process. Photos must clearly show any damage to the packaging as well as the part(s). Contact a Univair sales representative for further requirements.
