By when must a FedEx Freight or FedEx National LTL claim be filed?
A claim must be filed within nine months from the date of delivery or, in the event of non-delivery, within nine months after a reasonable time for delivery has elapsed.
Who should file a claim?
The claim should be filed by the owner or party in interest of the goods in transit at the time the loss or damage occurred. If the shipment moved at a released rate, the shipper should be contacted before a claim is filed.
What documentation is needed to file a claim?
A claim must be presented with a statement describing the goods lost or damaged, and how the amount of the claim was determined. This statement should be supported with a copy of the Bill of Lading or a freight bill, a copy of an inspection report, if one was performed, and a copy of the vendor's original invoice or other document to establish the value of the goods.
