Types of Freight Claims with Magnum LTL
When shipping something with Magnum LTL, you want your items to arrive safely and on time. But sometimes, things go differently than planned, and you might need to file a Magnum LTL Claim. A freight claim is a way to ask for money back if your shipment gets lost, damaged, or delayed. Let’s talk about the different freight claims you might encounter with Magnum LTL.
Damage claims are the most common and are filed when your shipment arrives with broken or damaged items. Inspecting your items upon arrival and documenting any damage with photographs is crucial. Notating the delivery with damages is equally important.
Loss claims are for shipments that never arrive. If your items are missing despite waiting for their arrival, you’ll file a loss claim to try and recover the value of the missing goods.
Shortage claims occur when part of your shipment is missing. For example, if you expected 10 boxes but received only 9, you’d file a shortage claim for the missing box.
Lastly, transit time delay claims address timing issues rather than physical conditions. If your shipment arrives significantly later than expected and was booked as a guaranteed or expedited shipment, you can file a claim with the carrier. However, it’s important to note that not all shipping services guarantee delivery times, so eligibility for this type of claim depends on your specific agreement with Magnum LTL.
Regardless of the claim type, act quickly and maintain thorough records of your shipment-related documents and any issues encountered. While filing a claim may seem daunting, it’s essential to seek compensation for any shipping mishaps.
