Bear Testing

Though BEARicuda Bin™ trash cans have been rigorously tested, we cannot make with a 100% guarantee that a bear or any other animal will never penetrate any of our cans, bins, sheds, or enclosures, those that are designated as Bear Resistant/proof. No wood enclosures are bear resistant, only metal ones. All animals are unpredictable and many (such as bears, squirrels, rats, mice, and raccoons can be tenacious and have very sharp teeth). All our cans and enclosures have been an effective deterrent against many types of animals in which most do not penetrate our product although the product maybe damaged in certain instances because this is the byproduct of having an animal penetrating your trash. Because this kind of damage can occur Bearicuda Bins, Inc will not refund or replace the product. Example, squirrels, rats, mice, raccoons because of the sharp teeth and after prolonged periods of time could potentially gnaw into the can where other larger animals cannot access. This is not common but must be noted. As always please contact us with any concerns or questions. NOTE: Do Not Order Any of our Wooden Enclosures If you need an Enclosure to Be Bear Resistant, Only Metal Enclosures will be an effective deterrent!

Inspection

You must Notate any DAMAGE at time of delivery to the driver and on the Bill of Lading (write directly on BOL DAMAGED and Take a PICTURE of the damage. You have the right to refuse the freight because of extensive damage But Do NOT return freight for something minor as most times we can easily correct most smaller issues. If damage is not notated or if customer does not inspect claims could be refused, Do Not allow driver to leave before you inspect items thoroughly. Please retain a copy from the driver of the bill of lading with any notes you have written on the BOL. Notify Bearicuda and call the carrier immediately, do not wait.

Carrier Service is only obligated to drop delivery at the top of the driveway, they will usually bring the delivery down the driveway but that is at the discretion of the driver based upon the conditions on the ground.

Delivery

Shipments will be delivered to or as close to the purchaser's property line (curbside), provided the location is deemed accessible by the delivering freight carrier. It is recommended that the Purchaser have an assistant to help offload the freight from the truck if purchasing one of our larger items (Enclosures, Dumpsters, Bear Cans etc). The Purchaser must inspect the freight prior to unloading and is expected to document any damage on the Shipping Document "Delivery Receipt" or "Bill of Lading" provided by the delivering carrier. Also please inform us if you are in a Limited Access Area and a Tractor Trailer Cannot Access Your Road, if you do not inform us of these transportation limitations you maybe required to meet the carrier at a location where the trucker can safely hand off the order (This could be at the end of your road or a parking lot at a local store.
