Shippo does not handle the physical processing and delivery of packages and shipping carriers themselves are ultimately responsible when packages are delayed, damaged, or lost.
If you experience any of these issues with a package, you will need to contact the carrier directly to resolve the situation. We've detailed out carrier-specific information below. Note: If you purchased Shippo’s third-party insurance for your package, you should file a claim with Shipsurance as well. Please complete this form to submit a claim:

If you are unsure whether or not you purchased insurance through Shipsurance, you can search for the package on the Shipments page and if you purchased additional insurance you will see "insured" below the rate. Please be sure to read the Shipsurance Terms of Service if you have any questions about coverage.
For USPS
Despite the name "Priority Mail 2-Day," USPS does not guarantee the shipping time of their 2 or 3 day shipping options. They guarantee delivery for only Priority Mail Express shipments, for which you have a Money-Back Guarantee. USPS does not offer this option for their other types of shipments. Click here for more details from USPS on Priority Mail delivery times.
If it is within 30 days of when your Priority Mail Express package was shipped, you may take advantage of your Priority Mail Express Money Back Guarantee. Refunds for Priority Mail Express service failures can only be requested and processed at your local Post Office. Here is some more information about refunds through USPS.
USPS does not offer any coverage on packages shipped internationally via First Class International, or in a Small Flat Rate Box or Flat Rate Envelope.
For DHL Express (using Shippo’s discounted rates)
To request compensation from DHL for a service failure, such as a delayed delivery, a damaged package, or a shipment rejected at customs and returned to you, Shippo must contact DHL on your behalf. Please contact support@goshippo.com and provide us with the shipment’s tracking number and a description of the issue. We will then reach out to DHL, and once they’ve confirmed whether they will refund the label charge, we will credit your Shippo account for that amount. Please note DHL claims must be filed within 30 days of the shipment date of the package.
