Delivery procedure
MASONI CAREFULLY CHECKS THE GOODS AND, IF NECESSARY, IT STRENGTHENS THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BY PUTTING THE PRODUCT ON PALLETS OR WOODEN BOXES.
It may happen that, despite these scrupulous checks by the manufacturing company and by Masoni, a product still presents non-conformities.
Two distinct situations can occur regarding the receipt of a damaged product:
- EVIDENT DAMAGE: the packages are visibly damaged / wet so the customer must strictly the SIGNATURE with the words "SUBJECT TO CONTROL VERIFICATION FOR TORN/WET PACKAGING" on the POD (Proof of Delivery) and then follow all the instructions below in order to proceed correctly to the complaint, to be made within 7 days from the moment of receipt of the goods. Any claims not supported by signature with reserved will not be accepted.
- HIDDEN DAMAGE: the damage is visible only after the product has been taken out of the box. In this case, if you did not use the SIGNATURE with the words "SUBJECT TO CONTROL VERIFICATION FOR TORN/WET PACKAGING" on the POD, the complaint must be made strictly within 48 hours from the moment of receipt of the goods. After this period of time the acceptance of the claim request is not guaranteed.
Customers must carefully follow these steps in order to make the handling of product anomalies possible:
CHECK IF THE NUMBER OF PACKAGES MATCHES WITH THE ONE SPECIFIED ON THE SHIPPING INVOICE
CHECK THE EXTERIOR CONDITION OF THE PACKAGES
IN CASE OF DAMAGED PACKAGES, ACCEPT THE DELIVERY SIGNING THE TRANSPORT DOCUMENT PRESENTED BY THE CARRIER WITH THE WORDS: "SUBJECT TO CONTROL VERIFICATION FOR TORN/WET PACKAGING"
IN CASE OF ANOMALIES, TAKE A PHOTO OF THE PACKAGES IN ITS ENTIRETY HIGHLIGHTING THE DAMAGE

IN CASE OF DAMAGE/NON-COMPLIANCE OF PRODUCTION, TAKE A PHOTO OF THE GOODS FIRST IN ITS ENTIRETY IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE DAMAGED PARTS AND THEN OF THE DAMAGED DETAIL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF DAMAGE
