It's frustrating when your goods don't arrive in perfect condition. However, you have the right to file a claim if your shipment is damaged. The first step to successfully filing a claim is to thoroughly document the damage. Take photos of the damaged goods, the packaging, and the shipping labels. This evidence is essential for asserting your claim.
We will take care of your case – quickly & with commitment.
How does the complaint work with the transport service provider?
Contact us: As soon as you notice that the goods are damaged, you must notify the carrier immediately. This can be done either via the website, by phone, or in a store.
Indication of the shipment number: Make sure you have all relevant information, such as the tracking number and the contents of the shipment, ready. This data is necessary to process the case quickly and efficiently.
Damage report and documentation: In addition to providing the tracking number, you must provide a detailed description of the damage and document the damaged goods and packaging. A photo of the damaged goods and packaging may be crucial.
Decision on the price reductionAfter the damage has been verified, you will receive a response offering a price reduction or compensation. This may include a refund of the purchase price or a partial refund.
When are you entitled to a discount for damaged goods?
The shipping company is not always directly responsible for the damage. However, you are always entitled to a discount if the goods were damaged during transport. The shipping company assumes responsibility for damage that occurs during shipping, as long as it was not caused by improper packaging or other errors on your part.
The exact discount depends on the severity of the damage and the type of item. In most cases, a partial refund of the purchase price is offered. For particularly expensive or valuable items, a full refund may be possible. It's important to note that the discount calculation usually takes into account the current value of the item and the shipping conditions.
