Insurance claims
All consignments are carefully packed to protect the goods from damages during transport. Please check your consignment immediately upon arrival for any missing/damaged items. The liability under the insurance terminates if damages are not claimed within 2 days after arrival of the goods. In case of separate bypack-insurance we have to point out, that we are only the agent between the customer and the insurance company. For damages in transit the customer has to contact the insurance company directly. We can certainly assist in the processing but we reject any responsibility for payment of bypack transport damages.
 
Claim procedure
Please notify us in writing immediately but not later than 2 days after arrival about damages or missing goods. If whole packages are missing the forwarder has to confirm this normally by a non-delivery or shortloading certificate. This is absolutely necessary for processing the insurance claim. The same refers to damages which are visible when discharging the goods. Each Gäfers-carton has been sealed with special Gäfers adhesive- tape. If the adhesive-tape has been damaged the carton has been opened during transport and items might be missing. In this case the written confirmation from the forwarder is absolutely necessary. With a photo sent to us, you can speed up the claim procedure. The insurance company reserves the right to investigate each claim. To settle claims immediately and to fulfil demands of the insurance company and the manufacturer, we ask you to hold damaged or faulty items available until the procedure is completed. The return of goods will be coordinated by us.
