Claims should be made promptly on delivery. Eaton Farms delivers all loads with our own trucks. If any material is less than satisfactory, the driver should be informed and material loaded back on the truck at time of delivery. We stand behind our plants where normal loss is concerned. When losses occur with no similar losses among our customers, claims will be handled on an individual basis. Please inspect all material before signing for delivery. Your signature for a delivery indicates your acceptance of that delivery and that you agree that the materials are satisfactory.
Please specify method of shipment with all orders. Customers are responsible for unloading trucks. Eaton Farms drivers are professionals and safety is our primary concern. Therefore, drivers cannot assist in unloading. Special needs can be accommodated; in which case you should consult with your sales representative. Our drivers are entrusted to accept all forms of payment.
