Shipping account updates
EDI credentials
The merchant can manually edit customer shipping credentials. Under the Setup Type field, you can select either online of electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI works best for shippers with high volumes.
Lost and Damaged Claims Management
If a customer wants to enable or disable LDS on their account, you can go to the Lost and Damaged Claims Card and update the field to either enabled or disabled. Once enabled the system files lost and damaged claims automatically with the necessary paperwork to get claims processed faster.
Audit and Recovery
You have the control to disable or enable auditing on a customer’s account. If the field is set to “N” no claims are being filed including service failures and disputes. If the field is set to “Y” all packages are being audited for overcharges and then claims filed with the carrier.
Shipping waivers
Every carrier has a money-back guarantee (MBG). If a shipment is late by even a minute, the shipper is eligible for a full refund. Some shippers have agreements with their carriers to waive rights on filing claims for the MBG. If this is the case, set the MBG Waived field to “Y”. The system will not file claims for late delivery service failures.
