What can be claimable under Luwjistik?

Regardless of your choice of network partners, you can file for a claims procedure directly to Luwjistik for the following three reasons:

1. Lost shipments
You would need to file for a loss claim when shipments that go missing during shipment are declared lost by the respective network partner in the form of a status update.

2. Damaged shipments
Damaged shipments refer to shipments that are physically damaged during the shipping process. Package conditions that qualify as damaged shipments include wet, ripped, damaged, dented, stained, punctured, has a hole or has the packaging tape torn.

3. Dispute Claims
You may file for a dispute claim if your shipment has a dispute due to differences in weight dimension, invoice pricing, rates applicable, etc.

Upon signing an agreement with Luwjistik, you will be presented with clauses which outline what you can claim from Luwjistik and claim eligibility. The clauses stated in the contract will override what is stated in this article.

Claim requirements

To be able to process any claims, you must be able to meet the following requirements:

  • For any lost shipments, the claims form must be submitted within three working days after the client support team submits an incident report to you.

  • For damaged shipments, you must provide picture evidence. Picture evidence includes the before and after of the inner packaging, as well as the content of the shipment.

Claims process

At Luwjistik, we have a 4 step process for you to process your claim:

  1. Firstly, email [email protected] to raise a shipment investigation.

  2. Once we receive your email, we will conduct an internal and external investigation with the respective network partner.

  3. You will receive the outcome of the shipment investigation in the form of an incident report within seven working days. This report will highlight the shipment's status, and whether the shipment is lost, damaged, or has any disputes. Attached here is a sample of an incident report: Incident Report.xlsx

  1. Finally, reply to the same email thread and ensure you attach the incident report alongside a claim form report. The template for this claim report can be accessed here. You will also need to provide the supporting documents depending on your type of claim as outlined above.

Note:

  • The claim will be processed as either a credit note or a bank transfer, depending on your current payment status with us.

  • The claim can not be deducted from the invoice amount or it can not be placed on hold due to pending claims.
