Submitting Shipping Claims For Evri Shipments

  Note: If your Evri label was purchased through Shopify Shipping, start your claim with Shopify's 24/7 support instead. See Getting support or filing a claim for shipments created via Shopify Shipping for more detail.

 

Loss or damaged parcels

Evri covers up to £20 for lost and damaged packages, plus an additional £2.50 for eligible label costs.

If your shipment is lost or damaged, we can file a claim with Evri on your behalf. Claims must be submitted within 30 days of the shipping label's creation date. We strongly recommend contacting us within 23 days of that date, so there's enough time left to process your claim.

  Note: Claims submitted after the 30-day window will be denied. Per Evri's terms and conditions, claims are also rejected if tracking shows delivery with an End of Life (EOL) scan, GEO location, and photo evidence. Claims for late shipments aren't accepted, and Evri doesn't cover parcels that arrive empty or missing items.

 

When you submit a claim, include the following:

  • Tracking number (also known as the Evri barcode)
  • Postcode of the delivery address
  • Recipient's first and last name
  • Value of the items in the shipment
  • Product category (for example, “Clothing and accessories - Footwear”)
  • A description of each product (for example, “Brown, size 5 boots”)
  • Details of the claim (lost in transit, marked delivered but not received, or damaged, with a description if damaged)

For damaged shipments, include at least three photos:

  • A photo showing the damaged product
  • A photo showing the condition of the shipping package
  • A photo of the shipping label attached to the package

Denial of Receipt

Additional requirements during the claims process:

Delivery disputes

  • Customers disputing a delivery need to provide a physically signed paper Denial of Receipt (DOR). A photo of the signed document works, as long as the text is clearly visible.
  • Along with the paper DOR, Evri sends an automated text DOR when a claim is submitted. This applies to both delivery disputes and lost-in-network claims. Customers have 5 days to respond to the text.
  • Both the paper DOR and text DOR are required for delivery disputes.

Lost in transit claims

  • Evri sends an automated text DOR to the recipient when a claim is submitted. Customers have 5 days to respond.
  • Only the text DOR is required for lost-in-network claims.

You can send your customer the following DOR template by email for them to sign:
