Guide to a lost or stolen USPS package 

Make sure you keep all your records and have all the information you need in advance. You will need receipts, tracking info, package description, shipping dates and proof of damage or value, depending on the circumstances. This will help you through the process more smoothly but don’t waste any time as you have to file the claim within 60 days of the missing package. 

 

USPS Claim Details 

What does a USPS Claim cover?
If your delivery was insured (Priority Class), USPS’s claim process would cover the costs of shipping and the package value, up to the amount specified. If you did not have insurance, but a Missing Mail Search determined your delivery is lost or damaged, a claim will cover the cost of shipping. You can file a claim anytime between 0-60 days for insurance related claims.

What if I didn’t buy insurance?
If your package was sent first-class and insurance was not purchased, then USPS will not process a claim. USPS will only process a Missing Mail Search which does not guarantee your shipment can be recovered.  

How to Start a Missing Mail Search
You start your Missing Mail Search, you will want to double check the status of your package. Missing Mail Searches can be initiated seven days after the items have been sent. You will want to confirm the mail date and ensure you are seven days in the future. 

Create a Missing Mail Search
To start the search, you will need both the senders and receivers mailing address. USPS will also need the size and type of envelope or box used to ship, mailing date and tracking number. Description of the contents will help identify the missing mail and can help if/when you are trying to get obtain a refund for damaged or missing items. Keep in mind, the Jpegs or PDF files must be less than 2mb to upload. If you need any information to support your claim, please email the Customer Service Team and a team member will try to obtain that information for you.

Once Mail Search is created USPS will send periodic updates on how the search is going or will ask to continue search or cancel request. We do not have this information; therefore, you may contact the USPS Customer Service Team at 800-275-8777 (ASK-USPS) for further questions. 

If USPS Finds Package, USPS will forward the mail or package to the address provided. Keep in mind this only happens if the package did not incur heavy damage during the shipping process. It is possible that once the missing mail is recovered, due to damages, it may prevent the USPS office from returning the shipment to you. 

If your package was shipped with Express or Priority Mailrequest refund. These services provide money back guarantee that the items will be delivered and arrive on time. 

USPS Misc.
Be aware that if USPS can prove that the package was delivered and verify they have checked their facilities for the missing package, you will not be able to file a claim with them. You may be a victim of Package Theft, one of the fastest growing crimes in the US.  You can file a complaint with the U.S. Postal Inspector.  USPS has a police force that investigates mail theft.  You may also file a police report with your local or county precinct.  Keep in mind that most mail theft is not considered an “urgent matter” therefore, we recommend that you submit a report via online or a non-emergency phone line. 

Submitting a police report does not guarantee a recovery of goods by any means.  However, it can help law enforcement to better understand and map crime rates in your area. 

 

Order Changes

Once an order is placed, we are unable to alter it in the system. We may be able to respond to a request shortly after an order is placed. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to respond or make the necessary changes.  Therefore, if the package is returned back to us, the order will be cancelled and you will be refunded for the items, not the shipping charges. If your order was eligible for free shipping, we will refund the amount less the $4.00 flat shipping charge.
