DAMAGE CLAIMS AND TERMS
Showroom Transport provides you the convenience
and protection of handling your needs through a select network of
transporters across the US, each of whom has a history of dependability
and are fully licensed and properly insured. Transporters
who fail to meet our standards are not accepted into the network
and those who do not maintain them are quickly removed. Therefore,
problems or damage claims will be minimal. In the event you
would have a claim, it would be the responsibility of the assigned
transporter to file it with their insurance carrier. However,
we do ask you to immediately advise us of any claim. Then,
part of our service to you is to facilitate the prompt and proper
handling of it and to do everything possible to obtain a rapid settlement
for you. Showroom Transport appreciates and thanks you for
your item transport business. Email address: sales@showroomtransport.com
