Freight Claim Process
What Can You Do To Get The Most From Your Freight Claims?
Shipment Freight Claims are a constant presence in logistics. They can be costly and take a lot of time to resolve. However, there are actions as a shipper that you can do to help get the most from your shipment claims:
-
Inspect Shipment and Note Any Damage –This needs to be done upon receipt. If there are any damaged or missing items, it needs to be noted on the Bill of Lading or Delivery Receipt.
-
Take Pictures and Collect all Documents – This is critical information to back up your claim. All relevant identifying labels should be documented.
-
Do Not Refuse Shipment – You cannot file a claim without a delivery notice. The contract you agree to will determine how to handle the damaged product.
-
Do Not Move the Damaged Shipment – This will take away the possibility that the damage occurred after receipt.
