Item Shortage Error

Do not sign for acceptance of the order with the delivery service until you have verified receipt of all items as per the packing list. If you receive an order with an item(s) missing, please write this on the delivery receipt with the shipping company. We also highly recommend that you take pictures of the pallet or shipping boxes that you did receive. This will all help, should a shipping claim need to be made.
Please then contact SCP directly as soon as possible. We will review all shipping documents from our end and conduct an audit of our warehouse stock to reconcile physical stock to what our system indicates.
