Customer Claims Procedure

  1. Lost⁄Damaged Materials:   Such problems may be reported via the Delivery Customer Service form or directly to U.S. Cargo at 1 800 234 8608. U.S. Cargo will reimburse the library directly.
    1. Liability for lost or damaged materials is limited to $100.
    2. To obtain additional coverage, request a Bill of Lading (BOL) from your driver.
    3. The shipping library will complete the BOL and will specify the number and type of items as well as the amount of additional coverage on the BOL.
      For example:
      10 video cassettes
      10 books
      20 items for $200 additional coverage
    4. The BOL is to be placed on the outside of the shipment so that it is clearly visible to the driver. A pick up copy of the BOL is to be retained by the shipping library for proof of pick up.
    5. Shipments will be assessed an additional charge of fifty cents ($.50) for each one hundred dollars ($100) or fraction thereof by which the value exceeds one hundred dollars ($100) per shipment, but not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000). For example, for loss of the 20 items mentioned above, the insurance fee will total one dollar ($1.00).
  2. Missed Delivery Form – In the event that the US Cargo driver does not make a scheduled delivery, please complete and submit the Delivery Customer Service form. This information will be submitted to both the State Library of Ohio and US Cargo customer contcts.
