The claims process is costing you thousands a month.
Risk 1: Unrecoverable costs
Each courier will operate different claim windows (sometimes as short as 14 days), evidence requirements and dispute rules. 85% of claims get missed, abandoned, or just written off because the admin cost outweighs the payout.
Risk 2: Unpredictable outcomes
The courier decides whether to accept a claim on their service failure. It means outcomes are inconsistent, slow, and skewed against the retailer.
Risk 3: Under compensation that hits to your margins
The courier’s compensation is often capped below full retail value, responses take weeks or months and payouts frequently come as credits, not cash. So even if you refund the customer quickly, your margin and cash flow will take the hit.
Risk 4: Money lost to manual errors
Large courier invoices are sent as PDFs that teams can only spot-check at best. Under the volume of information it means errors, missed SLA credits, and surcharges slip through. These small discrepancies stack up month after month and compound to much bigger problems.
Risk 5: Admin drains morale and productivity
Each claim can take 30–90 minutes when you include evidence gathering, form-filling, and follow-ups. It means teams are spending more time firefighting than fixing root causes and preventing repeat failures.
