What is Claim (damage report)?
A claim is the consignee's or shipper's notice of damage, shortage or delay. The deadlines are short, so act quickly.

- Visible damage: make a reservation on the consignment note or POD at delivery.
- Concealed damage: written notice no later than 7 days after delivery (Sundays and public holidays excluded).
