Frequently Asked Questions

If your shipment is damaged, you can submit a claim for the value of the goods. If your shipment is lost or missing contents, a trace would need to be initiated before a claim can be submitted. To initiate a trace investigation, please contact us at using one of the following methods:

To get started you will need your tracking number and the documents below (if applicable):

  • A copy of the original Purolator Bill of Lading or Manifest (obtain from sender)
  • A copy of the original Cost Invoice verifying the claimed amount. This invoice should indicate the actual breakdown of costs claimed. These costs should reflect only your wholesale/manufacturer’s costs and should not include retail markup/profit.
  • A copy of Damaged Inspection Report (if applicable)
  • A copy of the Repair estimate (if applicable)
  • Pictures of the damaged item(s) including internal and external packaging (if applicable)
  • Any other relevant supporting documentation

Ensure to keep all packaging until the claim is finalized, in the event a damage inspection is required. This is especially important for high value goods.

Purolator reserves the right to salvage goods for which full value of the shipment is paid as a result of a damage claim.

Please note that all claims are subject to our published Terms and Conditions.
