2. Filing Claims
2.1 Filing Timeframe
In the event of a covered loss or damage, it is your responsibility to notify us promptly.
You must wait 20 days for domestic, 30 days for international shipments, to file for non-delivery claims. If damaged, you may file a notice of damage with Borderless360 immediately. Concealed Damage* must be reported within 14 days. All claims must be filed within 45 days of shipment to be honoured. All damaged property for which payment (not repair costs), or replacement costs have been made, must, on request, be returned to you. Failure to hold the damaged property until the claim is fully resolved will result in the claim’s being denied.
Refer to our guide How to file a claim for specific instructions on how to report a claim.
- Concealed damage refers to harm that was not evident during delivery but is discovered by the consignee upon opening the package, for instance, when there is no visible damage to the outer packaging but damage is found within.
2.2. Documentation
To facilitate the claims process, you must provide all necessary documentation as outlined below. Failure to submit required documents within the stipulated time frame may result in denial of the claim.
You will submit a completed service credit claim form, dated correspondence from the consignee / receiving party, proof of damage if applicable and any additional documentation requested to substantiate the loss.
3. Service Credit Notice
Upon acceptance of your claim and receipt of all necessary documentation, we will promptly notify you of the service credit amount. It is your responsibility to retain this notification, and apply for application of allocated service credits to future services you order from Borderless360.

Allocated service credits hold their validity for a duration of 12 months from the date of allocation. Any unused service credits will expire after this specified period. Additionally, service credits cease to be valid in the event of a stock out. Therefore, timely utilisation is advised to maximise the benefits associated with the allocated service credits.
