What to do if your order is missing an item, or if your parcel is damaged.

Updated over 6 months ago

If your order arrives, and it is damaged, or items are missing, there are a few things you can do. This article describes the different options.

The packaging is damaged

The first thing to know is that you don't need to sign for orders that arrive damaged. If a driver tries to give you a damaged parcel, you can tell them that you are not accepting the goods. In this case, the driver notes down the damage, and returns the order to a depot to complete a damage report, and send the parcel back to the sender.

If the order is left for you, and the packaging is damaged, take some clear photos of the damage, then get in touch with Shippit support to follow up with the carrier.

What you need to send us:

  • Clear images showing the damaged packaging

  • A written description of the damage and how the goods were packaged upon arrival

⚠️ Important: Keep the order and the packaging until you hear back from Shippit. The driver might need to return to inspect or collect the order.


The items are damaged

If you discover that the items inside the packaging are damaged, take some clear photos of the damage, then get in touch with Shippit support to follow up with the carrier.

What you need to send us:

  • Clear images showing the damaged items

  • Clear images of the internal and external packaging

  • A written description of the damage and how the goods were packaged upon arrival

⚠️ Important: Keep the order and the packaging until you hear back from Shippit. The driver might need to return to inspect or collect the order.


Items are missing from your order

If there are items missing from your order, you need to get in touch with the sender. They will be able to check what was packed, let you know if items are coming later, and arrange to send you any missing items.
