The FR5 crate arrived with a crushed corner and the controller displaced against its supports. There is visible enclosure damage near a connection panel. I have left it unpowered and retained the packaging, but the seller's only instruction is to switch it on. I need a proper assessment route.
Sales contact. I sent the wide crate view and close-ups of the enclosure. They answered within minutes, which makes me doubt anybody technical had looked at them.
Requested service assessment and supplied the identification details privately. I've also reported the arrival condition to the carrier with the same photos.
Our receiving team once photographed the broken crate and missed the loose internal brace that explained the impact. Did you capture where those supports ended up before anything was moved?
Can I ask who locally will carry out any inspection the supplier proposes, because the instructions need to reach a qualified person rather than leave you interpreting them at the crate?
They acknowledged the photos and asked for an external view of the opposite side. Our local qualified contractor can assess it once the scope is agreed. No request to power it now.
Did the carrier give you a damage-report reference? Keep that with the service exchange, we had two departments asking us for the same arrival pictures weeks apart.
Yes, reference saved with the pictures. The equipment and packaging remain as received. We are waiting for the written assessment scope and who covers the inspection cost.
