Freight Claims
All orders are packed as securely as possible to reduce the risk of damage or loss of contents. Please inspect your package carefully upon receipt and notify the carrier if the package appears to be damaged or is missing items. Filmhandler Tools bears no responsibility for damage caused by a freight carrier and it is the responsibility of the customer to file a claim with the carrier. Please retain the damaged items and the packaging, as the carrier will most likely request these for claim processing.

Unless requested otherwise, all orders should include an invoice packing slip to compare the quantities shipped versus physically received. Any backordered items will also be noted on the invoice.
