X-Ray Glass Shipment and Delivery
X-Ray Glass is a very sensitive and fragile product and Ray-Bar understands the impact that receiving a broken shipment causes to the customer in both project schedule and as a double-loss expense.
Manufacturing this specialty product precisely to our customers’ request is only half our service; making every effort to ensure the product arrives to its destination in perfect condition is also paramount. Our customers can be confident that we take all reasonable protective measures and precautions.
Our main priority is that you receive our products in great condition. This is why our 80+ years of experience in manufacturing, handling, packaging and shipping our radiation shielding products worldwide is so essential. Although we have no hands-on control of the product once it is loaded into the truck or container, we meticulously package your x-ray glass or radiation shielding product in its custom protective crate for transit. We use only established carriers with modern GPS location logistics and/or computerized freight tracing and tracking capabilities.
X-Ray Glass Quality Inspection and Packaging for Shipment
Each piece of Ray-Bar X-Ray Glass is carefully inspected by our experienced QA department during fabrication and while hand setting the glass vertically into the custom built foam filled upright "A-frame" wood crates. All packaging shipments have proper handling and receiving instructions and proper warnings easily visible on the outside. All crates additionally have damage indicators securely fastened to the outside to visually assist our customers and end-users in determining if the product has been dropped, damaged, mishandled or adversely impacted during transit.
Our confidence in the safe delivery of our products is evident in our replacement claims policy. There is no additional product or freight cost to our customer as long as shipping is by our choice of transport carrier and receiving procedures were performed exactly per Ray-Bar detailed directions to preserve freight claim rights (such as customer carefully inspecting glass upon receipt in the presence of the delivery service and noting any issues clearly on the bill-of-lading receipt, keeping crate and product in original condition for claim adjusters inspection and same day written notification to Ray-Bar). The replacement glass must be the exact same size, type, quantity and characteristics of the original(s).
