Claims and Refunds

Start with the shipment facts before asking for a review

This page explains what RocBest usually needs when a parcel is damaged, delayed, routed incorrectly, or billed in a way that appears inconsistent with the shipment profile.

Evidence matters

Tracking details, photos, invoice context, and the shipment timeline help a review move faster.

Different issues need different inputs

Damage, delay, misroute, and billing review are not the same request type.

A review is not automatic approval

The team still needs to validate what happened and whether the issue fits the request type.

Damage

What helps when a parcel arrives damaged

Photos of the parcel and contents

Visible evidence of packaging condition and item damage is usually necessary.

Delivery timing

The shipment timeline helps determine where the issue likely occurred.

Order or value context

Declared value and item details are often needed during review.

Billing

What helps when the charge looks wrong

Original shipment inputs

Weight, dimensions, route, and declared details need to be compared with the final billing result.

Courier adjustments

Sometimes the carrier re-rates based on measured dimensions or zone rules.

Clear invoice reference

The request moves faster when the account team can match the exact charge in question.

Exceptions

What to do for delays and routing exceptions

Use tracking first

Tracking history usually provides the first useful signal for where the delay or misroute occurred.

Separate delay from loss

A delayed parcel is reviewed differently from a parcel that appears missing.

Explain the business impact

If the shipment was time-sensitive, note that clearly in the support request.

FAQ

Questions customers usually ask first

Can I file a claim without evidence?

Usually no. The more concrete shipment evidence you provide, the easier it is to review what happened.

Is every billing difference refundable?

Not automatically. Some billing differences come from valid remeasurement or service-rule changes.

Should I contact support before the tracking updates settle?

If the issue is urgent, yes, but the tracking history is still one of the most important inputs for review.
