What Should I Do If My Package Was Damaged?

If you've received a damaged package, you'll need to contact the sender to start a claim.

If you're the sender, you'll need to contact your local UPS office. You'll need to send the following items to the claims office:

  • A bill, including your signature, for the goods that have been damaged.
  • A copy of the original invoice or statement showing the value of the merchandise.
  • A copy of the original shipping receipt.

Proactively Preventing Package Damage and Loss

Research shows that damaged or lost packages resulting in a claim are often connected with boxes too large or too small, providing poor cushioning, labels that aren’t properly placed on your package or having unclear delivery instructions.
