and other similar documents received become the property of the ordering

department.

REPORT OF UNSATISFACTORY SHIPMENT

Damage to shipments must be recorded and processed in accordance with regulations

applying to common carriers. Visible damage shall be noted on the freight company's

receipt at the time of delivery. Concealed damage must be officially reported to the

freight company within fifteen calendar days after the company delivers the items to the

University. Failure to report damages in this time frame will result in the University's loss

of right to file a claim and collect for damages. In most instances, Central Receiving will

inform the company by telephone and confirm with a completed damage report. Upon

receipt of the damage report, the carrier will visit the University, inspect the alleged

damage, and furnish a copy of the inspection report. A copy of the freight report must

accompany any claim for damage.
 

RECEIPT OF UNSOLICITED GOODS ­­ Florida Statutes 570.545 states that when

unsolicited goods are delivered, the person is not obligated to return the goods to the

sender. The law also states that unsolicited goods shall be deemed a gift and recipient

may use or dispose of them in any manner without obligation to the sender.
