Delivery & unpacking of the kiln
The ROHDE Toploader will usually be delivered on a pallet by a freight-forwarding agent. Immediately after delivery
check the packaging for any visible damage. Should you detect any damage, unpack the pallet together with the
driver and check the goods again for damage. If you detect any damage, please enter details on the delivery note
and let the driver countersign your remarks. Keep one copy of the complaint for yourself. Inform the freight
forwarding agency immediately of the damage. Complaints submitted at a later date cannot be taken into
consideration.
