File a GlobalPost Claim for Loss or Damage

Should any of your GlobalPost shipments that include loss/damage coverage become lost or damaged in transit, you can file a claim within 90 days of the shipment date.

GlobalPost Standard includes coverage for damage or loss up to $100, including shipping costs. GlobalPost Plus includes coverage for damage or loss up to $200, including shipping costs.

Claims cannot be honored for items confiscated as contraband by customs or if a recipient refuses to pay customs duties and the destination country does not send the item back to you.

Requirements

  • The shipper should file all claims using the online form.

  • You can submit damage claims at any time. Claims for lost packages cannot be submitted until 30 days after the shipment date.

  • All claims must be submitted within 90 days of the shipment date.

How To File a Claim

  1. Go to the GlobalPost Claim Form.

  2. Fill out the form details:

    • You need a good contact email, shipment tracking number, date, and claim amount.

    • Do not include the shipping cost when filling in the Claim Amount field. If the claim is approved, the shipping cost will be added to your total payment.

    • For damage claims, upload an image of the damaged shipment.

  3. Submit the form.

    • If you submit a partially completed form, GlobalPost cannot process your claim and will notify you via email. Complete any missing information on your previously submitted claim form and resubmit it, or complete a new claim.

Once a claim has been approved, the refund will be immediately credited to your shipping account. It can take up to three weeks for a claim to be processed. Please contact GlobalPost if you have not received a response to your claim within three weeks.
