What to Expect from ShipNSG Claims Process After a Claim is Filed
When a shipment does not go as planned, having a transparent and efficient claims process can make all the difference. At ShipNSG, we understand how stressful it can be when freight is lost, damaged, or delayed. That is why our claims process is designed to be supportive, clear, and responsive from start to finish. In this guide, we explain each stage of the claims process so you know exactly what to expect and how to navigate it smoothly.
Understanding When to File a Claim
A shipping claim is typically filed when goods are received in damaged condition, go missing during transit, or arrive significantly late beyond acceptable delivery windows. While issues are rare with ShipNSG due to our vetted network and delivery protocols, we know that occasional exceptions can occur. Recognizing the signs early helps our team respond promptly and take corrective action faster.
Damage might be obvious, like crushed packaging or missing contents, but it can also include temperature exposure, water stains, or concealed internal harm. If you suspect any type of loss or damage, it is important to notify ShipNSG as soon as possible—ideally within 24 hours of delivery—so we can begin documentation and investigation.
Initial Steps You Should Take
Once you notice a problem, document everything. Take clear photos of the packaging, the product, and the shipping label. Make note of the tracking number, delivery time, and the driver’s name if available. These details strengthen your claim and help us validate what went wrong quickly. If possible, keep the original packaging intact until an inspection or carrier review is complete.
You should also alert the recipient to hold the damaged product without using or discarding it. This protects the claim’s integrity and helps provide evidence for reimbursement or further investigation if needed.
How to Submit a Claim to ShipNSG
Submitting a claim is simple and streamlined. Our online claims form is available in your client dashboard and only takes a few minutes to complete. You will be asked to upload supporting documents, such as invoices, photographs, or notes from the recipient. If you need help completing it, our support team is happy to guide you through each step.
Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with a case number and a summary of what happens next. Our operations team begins reviewing the claim immediately and contacts the courier or service provider involved to verify delivery conditions and timelines.
Our Review and Resolution Process
After receiving your claim, ShipNSG begins an internal review. This may include interviews with the courier, inspection reports, or communication with third-party partners. We aim to resolve claims within ten business days, but timing can vary depending on the complexity and responsiveness of the parties involved.
Throughout the process, we provide updates via email or your client dashboard. You can check the status of your case at any time and communicate directly with our support team for additional context. If your claim is approved, you will be notified of the reimbursement amount and timing, which may include a check or account credit depending on your agreement with ShipNSG.
Tips to Help Prevent Future Claims
While we are here to support you when something goes wrong, we also want to help you reduce future issues. Packaging matters a great deal—make sure cartons are double-walled, that fragile goods are well-padded, and that all items are properly labeled. Using water-resistant tape and shrink wrapping pallets can also go a long way in protecting your freight from the unexpected.
Another helpful tip is to photograph your shipment before it leaves your warehouse. These images serve as proof of condition at pickup and can be valuable if a claim must be filed. Adding freight insurance for high-value items is another wise step, as standard coverage may not reflect replacement costs.
Why ShipNSG is Different
Our claims process is not just about closing a case—it is about helping clients feel heard and supported. We understand that damaged shipments impact your operations, your customer relationships, and your budget.
