Sun-Mar 400 Continuous Use Composter
Code: SM400
Product Description
Acknowledged Composting Technology Leader for 30 Years
Sun-Mar, the acknowledged leader in composting toilets now brings their expertise to the garden. Sun-Mar knows the best way to compost is by using a rotating drum. They've been using a rotating Bio-Drum@trade; in their landmark toilets for over 25 years. 
The new Sun-Mar garden composters take this concept a step further by adding a patented double-drum to the design. Compost materials go in the top and finished compost exits automatically out the end as the drum rotates. No more digging, forking, poking, lifting, or other "work" that previously went with composting! Easy to turn, easy to compost, and even easy to assemble.
Sun-Mar products are carefully inspected and packaged to assure they reach your organization or customer in their original manufactured condition. Where requested Sun-Mar contracts third party transportation carriers for product shipments on behalf of dealers and customers. Any product damage or loss occurring in transit is the responsibility of the transportation carrier and not Sun-Mar. Therefore it is imperative that all products be fully inspected prior to accepting delivery from the transportation carrier and prior to signing a proof of delivery/freight waybill.
In the event of an inspection determining product damage or loss it must be reported immediately either on the proof of delivery/freight waybill at the time of delivery, or the delivery should be refused with a note that delivery was refused due to damage. Once the proof of delivery/freight waybill has been signed by the person receiving the products it confirms that the merchandise was received free of damage and removes liability from the carrier. Any subsequent attempt to claim for loss or damage will not be accepted by the carrier. In the event a claim is required it must be filed directly with the transportation company, however, Sun-Mar will assist in this claim process if shipping was originally contracted by it and the preceding procedures adhered to.
