About this Process
We understand the value of your time and your money. We will file the claim on your behalf with the courier. Once we submit your claim, the courier will provide us with approval or denial. Upon approval, we will repack a new shipment and ship it out immediately. To help us please include these helpful aids:
- A minimum of three pictures
- Photos of all the damaged pieces
- Photo of the pallet as received or container as received
- Do not discard your damaged material
Oftentimes, these couriers will want to recover the material for investigation and you can also use some of the damaged items as wall-cut pieces.
