If you’ve experienced an issue with an undelivered package, Saltbox is here to guide you through the claims process. Each carrier has specific procedures for filing claims, but Saltbox generally recommends waiting 7 days before filing a claim as carriers handle a large amount of packages daily.

Follow these steps based on the carrier used to ship your package.

Step 1: Verify package status

Before filing a claim, confirm the delivery status through the carrier’s tracking system to ensure it’s marked as undelivered. This will provide key details that the carrier may require to process your claim.

Step 2: Identify your carrier’s claim process

Different carriers handle claims individually. Below are links and important notes for filing a claim with each of our carrier partners:

USPS

  • Claims Process: USPS Claim Filing Page

  • Notes: USPS shipments include $100 insurance via EasyPost. USPS can be challenging for claims, so ensure all necessary documents are available.

UPS

  • Claims Process: UPS Claim Filing Page

  • Notes: Each UPS shipment also includes $100 insurance, and the claims process is generally straightforward.

FedEx

  • Claims Process: FedEx Claim Filing Page

  • Notes: For FedEx Express, members must schedule pick-ups separately; Ground claims follow the standard process.

OnTrac

  • Notes: File claims within 15 days of the shipment due date. Ensure to attach all supporting documentation and the invoice for the item’s replacement cost.

Veho

  • Claims Process: Text Veho Support at 68953 (message and data rates may apply).

  • Notes: Use Veho’s text support for direct assistance with claim initiation.

Pandion

  • Claims Process: Pandion Claim Form

  • Notes: Saltbox manages the Pandion claims process directly.

Sendle

  • Claims Process: Sendle Claims Page

  • Notes: Sendle’s process includes USPS for final mile delivery, so some claims may overlap with USPS protocols.

Step 3: Gather documentation

Prepare the following documents for a smooth claims process:

  • Shipment tracking number

  • Proof of delivery attempts or status updates

  • Invoice showing the package’s contents and value

  • Any additional documentation requested by the carrier

Step 4: Submit your claim

Visit the respective carrier’s claims page or reach out directly as instructed above. Follow the prompts on the claim form to complete your submission.

Step 5: Follow up

Each carrier has a different response time, but you may need to follow up if you don’t hear back within the expected period. Keep any reference numbers or claim IDs for easy tracking.
