FedEx Refunds & Claims

Does your business ship with FedEx? Save up to 20% on your shipping invoice through automated refund claims with LateShipment.com’s parcel audit software.

    Does your business claim FedEx refunds for 50+ service failures including late deliveries?

    If you use FedEx for your domestic or international shipping, according to the FedEx Money Back Guarantee if your package is delivered late by even 60 seconds or has been misbilled, you are eligible for a 100% refund of shipping costs charged.

    FedEx offers refunds for over 50 service failures including “late deliveries”, “lost packages” or “wrong surcharges applied” but needless to say, shipping carriers deliberately make it difficult for businesses to claim refunds.

    Can you automate FedEx refunds every month?

    Yes, you can. When it comes to the FedEx refund claim process, identifying service failures, filing claims and recovering refunds can be time consuming and definitely not cost effective. Having an automated claim process in place can help you effortlessly identify and recover FedEx refunds instantly.

    • If the shipper or recipient informed FedEx that the recipient location is closed on a certain day or at a certain time, the delivery commitment time for application of the money-back guarantee policy will be the next business day at the delivery commitment time for the service originally selected.

    FedEx will not be obligated to refund or credit your transportation charges if:

    • We provide you with proof of timely delivery, consisting of the date and time of delivery and, if applicable, the name of the person who signed for the shipment, or service-exception information reflecting that the failure to deliver timely resulted from circumstances described under the Liabilities Not Assumed section.
    • The service failure resulted, in whole or in part, from any of the circumstances described under the Liabilities Not Assumed section.
    • The payer’s FedEx account number was not in good credit standing, or payment instructions were invalid, and delivery was delayed until payment arrangements were secured.
