Delivery Checklist
At BayWa r.e. Solar Systems LLC, we work hard to ensure your order arrives on time, complete, and damage-free. However, issues can sometimes occur during transit. Following this checklist will help protect your order and ensure quick resolution if something goes wrong.
Please note that if no one is on-site to inspect and note damages or losses, the customer is assuming liability.
