MY EXPERIENCE – SURPRISES AFTER PURCHASE |
SHIPMENT OF
MACHINE
If you
have managed to avoid any surprises that can reserve the purchase based solely on
the description, a few photos and some questions, often through no fault of the
seller that is in good faith and has not always accurate perception of possible
problems, do not be quiet, because the
real surprise you will have after receiving the package. Indeed, if the package
is not well packaged, if the blanks are not filled adequately, if there are
points of the machine in direct contact with the package, the probability to
have damage is high.
After the
purchase you should specify asset to the seller what are the precautions that
must be used in the wrapping of parcel, because once the damage has been, is it
difficult to find a seller who faces up to its responsibilities.
Some
rules to be observed are:
·
no point of the
machine should be in direct contact with the parcel (if the parcel is too
small, disassemble the boiler cap, the
group and eventually the pressure gauge)
·
all gaps must
be filled with newspaper or paper packaging material (the machine should not
move in the parcel)
·
The cardboard must
be sturdy enough not to tear easily (better if the cardboard is protected
internally by polystyrene)
·
The machine
must be carefully emptied of water, otherwise the water during the transport
can escape and wetting the cardboard and making it more vulnerable
Some examples of damage during shipping
In this case the cap was in direct contact with the box and a blow
suffered during shipping has deformed the mouth of the boiler
In this case, the pressure gauge has suffered a stroke during shipping, the upper glass attack level has shifted and the sight glass level
was broken at one end
In this case, the coup has affected the safety valve that was
deformed down
