Frequently Asked Questions

Lost and Damaged Claims recovers what carriers owe you when a parcel is lost or damaged in transit. It’s powered by Ellis AI, LateShipment.com’s post-purchase intelligence, which spots affected parcels from tracking, carrier updates, shopper reports and your helpdesk, starts each claim on its own, gathers the evidence each carrier needs, and files eligible claims before the deadline. Denied claims are followed up, and you see submitted, denied and credited amounts separately in one dashboard.
Lost and Damaged Claims is agentic because each parcel is judged in context before a claim is filed, instead of someone noticing a complaint and filling in carrier forms. Tracking scans, photos, the order and the carrier’s terms are read together, suspicious claims are flagged, and the rest go in on time. Every outcome teaches Ellis AI which evidence each carrier pays on, so future claims get stronger.
Lost and Damaged Claims files every claim that qualifies, recovering up to $100 in product value per parcel plus the shipping cost, depending on each carrier’s terms, filing window and evidence requirements. That’s why eligibility is checked before filing and the evidence is matched to what each carrier asks for. Denied claims are followed up with the missing evidence, and submitted claims are never shown as money recovered until the carrier credits them.
Lost and Damaged Claims recovers money from the carrier when a parcel is lost or damaged in transit. Parcel Audit is a separate product that recovers refunds on carrier invoices, such as late deliveries and billing errors. Package Protection is shopper-paid cover chosen at checkout, and Shipping Insurance is merchant-funded cover from third-party insurers. Many merchants use them together, since each recovers a different cost.
Lost and Damaged Claims works within the rules you set. You connect the carrier accounts it files on, choose which channels can report a lost or damaged parcel, and set multi-level approvals for the few claims that need attention before filing. Ellis AI files and follows up everything else within those settings, and every claim keeps its evidence, carrier responses and credit history in one place for your team to review.
Lost and Damaged Claims keeps the shopper and the carrier claim on separate tracks. When a parcel is lost or damaged, Ellis AI suggests a replacement, refund or store credit right away, and it’s sent under your own rules, often with one click from the helpdesk, while the carrier claim is filed and followed up in the background. The shopper gets updates on their resolution, and the recovered amount is matched to the claim once the carrier credits it.
