  • If damage appears on the packaging, investigate further
  • Note all damage on the shipping company paperwork (Bill of Lading)
  • Call Kendon at 714.630.7144 if damage is present
  • Refuse shipment if damage is excessive – this is the best way to protect yourself

 

Unpackaging:

  • Please watch the Kendon Uncrate and Assembly Video on YouTube here

  • Locate all loose items, including:
  1. Two wheels/tires
  2. Spare wheel/tire if ordered
  3. Cardboard box containing small parts
  4. Large box containing accessories (Limited Edition models only)
