LOST OR DAMAGED MERCHANDISE
Inspection:
Check your shipment carefully when delivered to see that it is in good order and that all cartons are accounted for. When cartons check short or are in bad condition, have the Carrier’s agent (truck driver) make notation of this fact on the freight bill or receipt, and then he must sign it.
Concealed Loss or Damage Discovered After Delivery: Loss or damage must be reported to the delivering carrier upon discovery, or, in any event, within 15 days after receipt. Also notify Covington’s of damaged goods so we can assist in the process. Hold goods, containers, and packing materials in the exact condition as found for inspection by the carrier. If an inspector does not call within 48 hours, request an inspection by certified letter with return receipt. After viewing the damage, the inspector will issue an inspection report. You need a copy to support your claim.
Delivery: Once you accept delivery of the goods, the responsibility for fling a claim for damage, if any, is yours.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY REPORT LOSS OR DAMAGE IS GENERALLY REGARDED AS INDICATING COMPLETE DELIVERY OF FREIGHT IN GOOD CONDITION.
Filing Your Claim:
Make your claim promptly. Obtain the proper forms from the carrier. There are specific documents required to support claims. They are: (1) Original Bill of Lading, (2) Original destination freight bill, (3) Original invoice, (4) Correspondence with Covington or the carrier, (5) Concealed loss form or copy of inspectors report, (6) itemized bill (or estimate) for the cost of repairs. Billing: Please do not deduct the amount of loss or damage from Covington’s invoice while awaiting adjustment of the claim, as WE DO NOT GUARANTEE SAFE DELIVERY.
Important:
Covington wants to assist you in every manner possible in collecting claims against carriers for loss or damage, but our willingness to do so does not make us responsible for filing or collecting claims.

Selecting The Right Size Slab & Trim Saw
Use the chart below for determining the size of saw you will need based on the size of rough rock you intend to work with.  These recommendations are made to allow you the most efficient cutting and will offer the longest blade life.  Yes, you can cut larger rocks than those specified, but the surface area of the blade will receive much greater wear.  *Use measurements in diameter of rock as well as blade.
