Share A Refund helps shippers recover funds related to lost and damaged shipments by automating the entire process. The costs recovered through this fully outsourced business process are all upside for shippers that don’t have the time to file lost and damaged claims manually.
AutoFile Enabled
Once AutoFile is enabled, the entire lost and damaged workflow is automated. The process spans 10 to 14 days and depends on the length of time required by the carrier to process an open claim. On average, the carriers need five to ten business days to process an open claim.
This feature files lost and damage claims when a shipment is lost or damaged automatically (most common).
The typical process when AutoFile is enabled is as follows:
Auditing – 1 day
Claim filing – 1 day
Response from carrier – 7 days
Verification of refunds – 8 days
Reported on weekly digest – 10 days
