when a delivery company delivers your package your expecting to you check it for damage in front of the driver or take it on trust it ok

[Baldric]

Yes, possibly or maybe no!

[pixie373]

I just take it. Would soon let them know if there was a problem.

If a delivery asks me to sign that the article is undamaged, I always add that the package is undamaged, item as yet unchecked.

[Sipowicz]

I don't understand your question.

[Mamyalynne]

Reading between the lines if Ivor doesn't mind.

when a delivery company delivers your package are you expected to check it for damage in front of the driver or take it on trust that it is it ok (ie undamaged)

[TWR]

Sign for it "UNCHECKED"

Mamyalynne
thats what i mean

[Mamyalynne]

Glad I got you right, then TWR and I agree - at the door all you are really doing is signing for delivery, if it mentions checking the product before signing, then add a note to signature or see if the driver will wait while you check (unlikely)

If it's a little package, I just take it usually - but if it's something bigger and possibly breakable, I sign for it and add "unexamined".

[TWR]

I used to pick up in mydriving days Mam, each & every time I signed " Unchecked" there is no-way you can sign for product without fully checked, the drivers do not have the time to wait.

[Mamyalynne]

Which is why I added that it is unlikely, as stated far easier to simply sign for delivery unchecked/unexamined - I think we are all agreeing.

One delivery I got was a cooker and when I wrote that on the delivery note, the driver told me I had now accepted the item - rubbish as it had not been unpacked or wired in.
