FAQ

The process should go quickly if you have submitted your required documentation.  If additional information is needed, a member of the team will notify you. Once your claim has been approved for payment, it will be paid in a timely manner. 

Each claim is different and as a result, may require different documents. However, almost all claims require proof of loss and documentation reflecting the value of the loss, such as an invoice or bill of sale. In addition, the following items may also be requested: freight invoice, packing list, replacement invoice, repair estimate, photos of the goods and packaging and, if lost, a police report or statement of non-receipt by the receiver.

If there is a damage or missing contents claim you must retain the packaging until you are advised otherwise by your adjuster. 

You must report a loss immediately. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for the exact reporting and claim filing deadlines.

You will receive acknowledgment of your claim promptly by email. If you do not hear anything within 5 business days of submitting your claim, email risksolutionsit@ups.com to confirm your claim has been received.
