Where shipments of household goods are received by the carrier from the shipper in apparent good order and with no exceptions noted on the bill of lading, and delivered by the carrier in the same manner, with no exceptions noted, such concealed loss or damage claims must be submitted to the carrier by the shipper. Inspections covering loss or damage found after delivery must be requested to the delivering carrier in writing within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the shipment involved. If more than fifteen (15) days have passed, it is incumbent upon the consignee to offer reasonable evidence to the carrier or a representative of the carrier that loss or damage was not incurred by the consignee after delivery by the carrier.
