Separate the causes
Outer packaging impact
Record visible handling damage and label condition before unpacking.
Core deformation
Document core shape and roll-end alignment; avoid forcing damaged cores through inspection equipment.
Fabric effect
Check whether deformation caused folds, compression or handling problems in specific roll positions.
Steps before deciding
- Photograph unopened packaging and the delivery identifier.
- List affected roll numbers and measured damage locations.
- Agree safe unwinding with the inspection team.
- Separate observed fabric defects from suspected hidden damage.
- Request a documented release, rework or replacement decision.
Worked example
Hypothetical example: three rolls have crushed cores but only one contains a persistent fold. Record all three packaging failures and the distinct fabric outcome; do not claim identical cloth loss for every roll.
Buyer questions
Can I reroll immediately?
First preserve evidence and agree the handling method.
Does core damage justify rejecting the shipment?
Use the order’s packaging and fabric acceptance terms plus the actual inspection results.
Discuss the evidence with Fred Textile
Send Fred Textile packaging photos, roll numbers and the unwinding findings before agreeing a remedy.
