How to File a UPS Service Outage Claim - Lateshipment.com Blog (2023)

Founded in 1907, United Parcel Service (UPS) is a leading provider of shipping services and the largest of the three giants (the others are DHL and FedEx). UPS offers a wide range of offerings such as supply chain, freight, and even a retail store in addition to delivery. The Atlanta-based airline has more than 120,000 vehicles in its delivery fleet and is best known for its ground transportation services.

Despite its huge fleet and state-of-the-art tracking systems and delivery methods, your customers' packages shipped with UPS can be delayed or even lost in transit. But UPS strives to provide impeccable service every time, so they offer a money-back guarantee on most services.Guaranteed Service Reimbursement (GSR)Policy.

Shippers who have experienced service interruptions and billing errors from UPS can request a refund of their shipping costs. But before filing UPS claims, here's something to better understand the GSR so we can better collect UPS refunds.

Just as major food suppliers advertise today. UPS GSR simply means that UPS owes the shipper a refund of shipping costs if the order is delivered after the scheduled delivery time/date.

UPS Guaranteed Service Refund (GSR) is part of the shipping contract that requires UPS to refund 100% of the shipping cost if package delivery is delayed by up to 60 seconds, except in exceptional circumstances (natural disasters, weather delays, etc.) .).

Now that we're familiar with the basics of the GSR, let's dive into how you can submit claims to UPS.

1. Go toSite da UPSand select "Submit a complaint" under the "Support" tab.
2. Log in to your UPS account to submit a claim.
3. Fill in the requested details such as tracking number, your status (sender, recipient, third party, etc.).
4. Select the reason for the complaint - late delivery, lost package, etc.
5. Upload any documentation or other evidence to support your claim (photos, proof of payment, product descriptions, etc.).
6. Submit your claim

Or you can call the UPS Claims Support number at 1-800-PICK-UPS (1-800-742-5877) and say "refund". Plus extension numbers are available formore specific stress demands.

While this sounds relatively easy, it's not always the case. The UPS manual claim submission process is really tedious for claiming refunds.

The problem with manually filing UPS claims is simply the terms contained in the GSR policy, which intentionally make it difficult to obtain successful refunds.

The GSR policy is full of fine print provisions that you must strictly adhere to or your claims may be denied.

1. First, make sure you have signed a GSR Waiver. This immediately prevents you from claiming refunds from UPS andit's not an efficient move either.
2. Please allow 24 hours from the scheduled delivery time to request a refund for lost packages. There is a chance that your package will be delivered to your hands. However, you can immediately file refunds for late shipments (on select services).
3. Refund requests must be submitted within 15 calendar days of the scheduled delivery date or the date specified in the tracking details or on your Proof of Delivery, whichever is later.
4. In the case of lost packages (excluding incidents of lost packages in your garage, at a neighbor's house or pirates on the porch) you have less than 60 days from the delivery date to claim.
5. When manually submitting refund requests, you must ensure that you have entered the correct information such as the recipient's name, address, shipping date, package weight, tracking number, etc. This can be tedious and time consuming.
6. Sometimes the application process itself can take more than 10 days to complete.
7. The GSR Money Back Guarantee does not apply to all destination packages and services covered by UPS. Check the legitimacy of your claim!
8. You must submit all shipping documentation, including labels, in accordance with the UPS Labeling Guide.
9. For international shipments, you must present the documentation required by the country of origin or destination to substantiate your case.
10. If the package includes a Saturday delivery route label, that must also be included.
11. The package must be delivered to UPS before the agreed collection time. Check the timestamps to ensure this.
12. If the package requires further processing, you will not be entitled to a refund.

This is not everything! Your UPS claims can still be rejected withFine print terms and conditions.

The process of manually filing UPS claims is feasible IF you only ship one or two packages a month.

But if your bulk is something i.e. just remove more than that then you needA SOLUTION THAT CAN REALLY SCALE!

It's not that carriers like UPS don't have all the paperwork to make the process efficient. They intentionally do not make the claim process easy to discourage people from claiming the refund money they are entitled to.

But what should be most important to you is this: the experts say you canReduce your shipping budget by up to 20%when you claim all refunds to which you are entitled.
