What to Do When Ceramic Snack Bowls Arrive Damaged

If ceramic snack bowls arrive chipped or broken, set them aside, photograph the damage, and notify the supplier promptly. Include your order reference and delivery details so the supplier can review the issue. The available general order terms allow repair or replacement for quality defects reported within 15 days, but they do not specify a separate process for transport damage to bowls.

First Steps After Delivery

1. Inspect the bowls when the shipment arrives and note any visible damage before using them.
2. Separate affected bowls from undamaged items, and keep the packaging and shipping materials.
3. Take clear photos of each damaged item and its packaging, then contact the supplier with the order number, delivery information, and number of affected bowls.
4. Ask which remedy and reporting deadline apply to your ceramic bowl order.

Which Remedy Applies?

The supplied general order terms state that quality defects may be eligible for repair or replacement when reported within 15 days. However, the available information does not give a bowl-specific transport-damage procedure, so confirm the applicable terms directly with the supplier and report the problem as soon as you discover it.

A separate listing for buffet utensils offers an exchange for quality issues within seven days of receipt. That listing concerns utensils, not ceramic snack bowls, and should not be assumed to cover bowls unless the supplier confirms it. The supplied SGS certification records relate to table knives and table spoons or forks for the European Union; they do not establish certification or shipping-claim terms for ceramic bowls.

Information to Include in Your Report

Send the supplier your order reference, delivery details, the quantity of damaged bowls, and photographs showing both the damage and the packaging. The available information does not specify mandatory claim documents, so check whether anything else is required. Keep the items and packaging available until the supplier advises you on next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Provide your order reference, delivery details, the number of affected bowls, and clear images of the bowls and packaging. Ask the supplier whether additional documentation is needed.
