UPS Reimbursement for Packages Lost in Transit to Amazon FBA
Hello,
Need some guidance - I shipped 6 packages to Amazon. 5 of the packages made it; UPS lost the last one. I filed a claim with UPS who approved the claim but is now saying they will only send reimbursement to Amazon because Amazon is considered to be the "shipper" and I would need to get an authorization of release from Amazon to be reimbursed.
How do I proceed here?
Thanks

UPS optional coverage
UPS’s liability for loss or damage to each UPS domestic package or international shipment, or to each pallet in a UPS Worldwide Express Freight® service shipment, is limited to a value of $100, except as set forth below. Unless a greater value is recorded in the declared value field of the UPS Source Document or the UPS Automated Shipping System used, the shipper agrees that the released value of each domestic package or international shipment, or pallet is no greater than $100, which is a reasonable value under the circumstances surrounding the transportation, and that UPS shall not be liable for more than $100 for each domestic package or international shipment or pallet. To increase UPS’s limit of liability for loss or damage above $100, the shipper must declare a value in excess of $100 for each package or pallet in the declared value field of the UPS Source Document or the UPS Automated Shipping System used and pay an additional charge. The shipper cannot declare a value in excess of the maximum allowable limits set forth as $50,000.00

It is going to cost you more than its worth to pry free money away from Amazon. Use Amazon shipping to enrich Amazon when it gets lost.

Hey @Seller_UXYCULsSAGAUb, you will need to open an investigation via Amazon. Have you spoken to Seller Support?

Regarding to UPS reimbursements, I had this experience
We use to ship jars to FBA warehouses for more than 2 years and we pack and ship them with UPS. Lately, UPS informed us that a box was damaged and they disposed the contents. They claim that we did not pack it as it should be and they have no evidence of damage and they never returned the damaged box although it shows returning to sender on both Amazon and UPS website.
This is not our first time of shipping jars to FBA, so we definitely know how to pack. They do not accept any kind of reimbursement and cooperation to provide and damage photos or whatever.
We have a UPS account manager and he is only a pain, saying that it is an Amazon Label and cannot be any kind of help ( he never helped when our 32 boxes was stolen in transit to UPS distribution center by the drivers in 3 days as well)
I filed a claim with Amazon, will see what will happen eventually.
Anyone experiencing similar problems with UPS shipments?
