Parcel Claims Management and Recovery

Identifies lost or damaged shipments and provides comprehensive claims management and recovery with minimal involvement from customer. Direct-Recovery secures carrier refunds for the insured value of the merchandise, or up to $100 for uninsured packages, plus shipping charges. This simplifies a tedious manual claims process with full visibility to customer, assures no valid claim is missed, and holds carrier accountable for damage and loss.

We handle all carrier interactions so customer can focus on business. Only clients with an aggressive in-house claims processing effort can truly appreciate this value. If you're handling the process in-house, allow us to perform a competitive assessment to see if we can't increase your return, and eliminate the effort.

Benefit - Cost

Historic recoveries of 0.5% to 4% of total spend.

This service is offered on gain-share basis with a cap on contingency for claims over $100.

Testimonials

I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much I have appreciated working with you and everybody at Direct Recovery over the past years. Your company has gone above and beyond to fulfill our needs. An example of that would be the time when we switched our shipping carrier, and you created specialized reports to fit our needs. I also like the fact that no matter how trite my questions may be, they are always answered quickly and completely. I am happy to recommend your company to anyone that wants to be more efficient, and recover a substantial amount of shipping revenue.
