Full Policy
If possible, inspect all packages immediately by opening any boxes and inspecting their contents, before signing for the delivery. Do not assume the items are undamaged because the packaging is undamaged. Do not sign for or accept delivery of any packages that are visibly damaged without first inspecting their contents. If the delivery driver refuses to allow you to inspect the merchandise, ask him or her to wait while you contact their customer service department. If merchandise appears to be damaged, refuse delivery of the item and notify our customer service department immediately by phone by email at support@Skylights2Go.com.
If you discover damage that was concealed by the packaging after signing delivery ticket, do not throw away the packing materials or cartons or there will be no basis for a claim. Concealed damage is damage that occurred either at the factory or during shipment that is not obvious without removing the packaging. If you discover concealed damage, stop unwrapping or un-packaging the shipment, take photos and contact Skylights2Go.com immediately.
