How to File a Claim

When it comes to insured mail, there are certain procedures that need to be followed in case the mail is lost, arrived damaged, or was missing contents. Both the sender and the recipient have the option to file a claim, but there are specific requirements that must be met.

Who can file a claim?

Either the sender or the recipient of the insured mail can file a claim. However, the person filing the claim must have the original mailing receipt in order to proceed with the process.

What is required for the claim?

Each claim for insured mail must be filed within a certain time period, typically within a specified number of days from the date of mailing. The claim must include proof of insurance, the declared value of the contents, and evidence of any damage that occurred during transit.

How to file a claim?

To file a claim for insured mail, the sender or recipient must contact the Claim Department or shipping carrier that was used to send the mail. They will be required to provide all the necessary documentation, including the original mailing receipt, proof of insurance, and any evidence of damage or missing contents.

It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by the Claim Department or shipping carrier to ensure that the claim is processed in a timely manner. Failure to provide the required documentation may result in the claim being denied.

When it comes to shipping packages domestically within the U.S., there is always a risk of the package getting lost, damaged, or having missing pieces. If your package was insured, you may be eligible to file an "indemnity claim" to recover the value of the lost or damaged items.

What items are eligible for a claim?

Items that are covered by insurance and eligible for a claim include Priority Mail Express® items, other insured mail, Collect on Delivery (COD) items, and items with insurance.
