If your piece arrives by private carrier, we recommend that you carefully inspect the piece upon arrival. The driver will ask you to sign that you have approved and accepted the item. Once you have signed for the shipment, the insurance coverage is legally terminated. That’s why it is very important that you inspect your items. If something is damaged, we recommend reaching out to your carrier before signing.
