Freight claims

Successful freight claims depend on following proper protocol for the carrier transporting your freight. In most cases those protocols are standard in the industry and are as follows:

The freight must be inspected upon receiving and the bill of lading must be signed off on the bill of lading as “damaged” or “lost/missing”. Digital picture are very helpful.
Time: damage claims must be reported within 30 days after receiving the shipment. Loss claims must be reported within 90 days of receiving the goods.
Original invoice. the original freight invoice must be paid by the customer making the claim. Failure to do this will negate your claim.
Letter of intent and invoice. The customer filing the claim must provide to the carrier a letter of intent to claim (ie email) and provide an invoice detailing the cost of their damages/loss. The cost must be the “landed” cost and not the “retail cost” to the end user.
Concealed damage. This is reported damage that is not visible to the outer carton, crate or other packaging. If damage is present, the receiver must keep the packaging on hand for inspection by an agent of the carrier.
Limited liability. Limited liability for all carriers is $2/lb, this is your declared value without purchasing additional cargo insurance.
