Shipping, Receiving, and Storage Tips for Hollow
Metal
by: Brett Miles
Among the
many pages of helpful information you will find on our website is the page that
details the proper shipping, receiving and storage of hollow metal. One of the
most important parts of that document covers damaged freight. If handled
properly, HMF Express will handle the freight claims and any associated
headaches that may come with that process. To summarize: If damaged frames
and/or doors are delivered (to your place of business or the jobsite), the
shipment should be refused. At that point, it is in our court. However, if the
shipment is received and the receipt is signed, then the material has been
officially received and is in your possession.
Another
important area of that document is the proper storage information. If your
materials are stored properly, then they will be ready for installation when
they are needed. If stored inappropriately, then when you need the material you
may find it has rusted or been damaged and cannot be used. This can impact
your or your customers completion date, which may cut into your profit margins.
