INSPECTING YOUR PACKAGES

Time Frame for Inspection

Please inspect all packages and crates upon delivery. Keep in mind that UPS packages and all common carrier freight (tractor-trailer) must be inspected for damage within 48 hours of delivery. Damage claims made after these time periods may be rejected by UPS or the freight carrier. If you find damage, defects or missing parts within the times allotted above; please contact our Customer Service department toll free at 877-868-1369.

The item was damaged in transit by the shipping agent.

Please inspect all items for damage upon delivery. In the case of tubs, exactly follow the inspection and/or uncrating documents you have received from Vintage Tub & Bath to protect yourself from responsibility for shipping damage.

If you cannot reasonably inspect an item that requires a signature upon delivery (like most tubs), sign the receipt and print the words One crate received - contents not inspected; This does not guarantee that the shipper will pay a damage claim, but it is better than signing for the item as "free and clear" from damage.

If you cannot inspect the item upon delivery, please do so within 48 hours.

Damage that occurs during shipment is the responsibility of the shipping company / carrier (Examples include: UPS, US Post Office, ABF Trucking, R&L Carriers, and FedEx). Please click here to submit a claim:
