FREIGHT CLAIMS: In order to make any claim, you must report the damage within one business day although it is best to report same day and immediately including showing to the driver. To make any claim, you must take photos of the packaging and any damage to it, the item and any damage to it, and keep the packaging. If you throw away the packaging, it will be much harder to make a claim. Motor freight claims are resolved typically at 10 cents per pound unless you agree to insure the shipment which can be quoted separately. Small package shipments (Generico uses Fed-X only) are paid more responsibility but with no guarantees by Fed-X. Generico will do its best to assist you with any claim however Generico is NOT responsible for damage in shipping unless the item was packed improperly and the photos can show this. Generico is not responsible to replace items damaged by FedX nor any motor carrier if you do not agree to take optional insurance.
