Warranty & Return Policy

Shipping/Damage Policy

***IMPORTANT***

FAILURE TO FOLLOW OUR POLICY RELEASES MAHAR MFG. FROM LIABILITY:

CONSIGNEE SHOULD NOT SIGN THE DELIVERY RECEIPT UNTIL:

a) PIECE COUNT HAS BEEN VERIFIED: Count and verify the quantity of cartons. NOTE THE NUMBER OF CARTONS SHORT on the delivery receipt.
b) INSPECTION OF CONTENTS – EVEN IF NO VIBISBLE DAMAGE TO CARTON: Although the TABLE TOP carton may not appear to be damaged, if the product was dropped before it arrived, it could be cracked/broken - that’s why it’s important to open & inspect, even if carton looks fine.
c) VISIBLE DAMAGE TO CARTON - REFUSE IT: If wet, shows signs of scuff mark, tear, hole, etc. If you choose to accept the shipment/carton(s), MAKE A NOTATION OF ANY ABNORMALITY TO THE CARTON(S) ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT.

DAMAGE DISCOVERED AFTER DELIVERY RECEIPT IS SIGNED (CONCEALED DAMAGE):

If concealed damage is discovered after consignee signed the delivery receipt (without noting damage on it), we cannot file a claim, nor be reimbursed by the trucking company. You will need to purchase replacements and pay the shipping.

Without noted damage on the delivery receipt, you may file a freight claim but it is most likely to be denied since there is no proof of who is at fault. When the freight bill is signed without any noted damage, essentially you are agreeing that it delivered without damage. The trucking company will argue that the damage occurred after they left the premises. If you choose to proceed with filing a claim with the trucking company, they require that you keep the concealed damaged items(s) and retain the cartons and all packing materials until they process the claim. We advise you to take photos of damaged item(s) as well as the cartons. And file the claim immediately.

POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR ACCEPTING FEDEX-GROUND (Small Package) SHIPMENTS:
