Oh no! Sorry to hear your parcel was damaged.
While we take a lot of care in delivering your parcel safely, sometimes things don’t go to plan.
This article will step you through the process of reporting damage and claiming cover for your parcel under Sendle Cover, where we cover up to USD $100 for Saver shipments and up to USD $150 for Preferred shipments.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, please check that your parcel is covered by Sendle’s Cover Policy. This will make sure there aren’t any hiccups.
Here’s how you claim cover for a damaged parcel:
Damage claims must be made within 1 business day of the parcel being delivered.
Step 1: Ask the receiver to take some photos of the damage that includes:
- the packaging,
- the parcel label (clearly showing the reference number), and
- the damaged item.
Step 2: Once you have the images, log in to your dashboard and go to the parcel’s tracking page.
Step 3: Go to the ‘Manage parcel’ section and click on ‘Damaged parcel claim’.
You'll need to do this within 1 business day after the parcel has been delivered – after that, this button will disappear.
Step 4: Upload the photo of the damaged parcel. Remember, make sure the image shows the packaging, the parcel label (clearly showing the reference number) and the damaged item – all in the one photo.
Step 5: Fill out the rest of the cover claim form. Include relevant info about the parcel’s contents and proof of its value (like a receipt, invoice or a statutory declaration), as well as your bank details. Then hit ‘Submit’.
Step 6: We’ll review it and get back to you via email with the outcome of the claim (and any next steps) within 7 business days.
