Carrier Claim Review Damage Prevention Playbook

Use this whenever a carrier claim references crush, seal failure, wet damage, label loss, or insufficient packaging. This playbook is for teams responding to damage claims, lost-package disputes, or carrier exception notes.

Packout checklist

  1. Collect claim photos, tracking events, package dimensions, material spec, label placement, and packer notes for the shipment.
  2. Confirm materials: corrugated boxes, protective wrap, edge protection, void fill.
  3. Keep a pass/fail packed sample at the bench and require a supervisor check for new fragile SKUs.
  4. For carrier claim review work, treat damage prevention as a controlled operation: define the package spec, stage the right materials, and inspect the first completed orders before volume scales.
  5. Record the approved package size, finished weight, label position, and exception rule.

QA checks

  • Classify the failure by material, closure, label, handling, or carrier issue.
  • Update the packout only when evidence points to a packaging cause.
  • Retain a claim packet template for future disputes.
