Shipping & Returns

Broughton's ships small packages with Canpar or Canada Post. Larger skidded orders are shipped with a Trucking Company.

According to Federal ICC Regulations, shipments become your property when received by the carrier who is your agent for transportation. Our liability ceases upon pick-up of goods by the carrier, who signs our Bill of Lading attesting that the shipment was in good order when picked up. For your protection, sign only for quantity of cases received, and if damage is apparent, have the driver indicate that on the Waybill. Do not sign the Waybill if the problem is not indicated on it. If you discover damage when unpacking, notify the carrier immediately and fill out a claim for "concealed damage". It is your responsibility to advise the carrier at once and request inspection. The inspector should give you a form to fill out. The carrier should reimburse you for the damage sustained. Claims for breakage or damage in truck transportation cannot be accepted by Broughton's.

PARCEL POST
Claims for damaged merchandise should reach our Customer Service Department immediately and we will inform you as to how to return the shipment.
