06 — Loss & Damage Claims
Lost or Damaged Parcels
As RabbitShip is a shipping aggregator and broker, all physical claims — including loss, damage, and theft during transit — must be raised directly with the courier partner. RabbitShip will assist by providing booking records and supporting documentation, but is not the financially liable party.
Claim Windows (Critical)
Most courier partners have strict claim windows. Missing these deadlines may result in claim rejection:
| Claim Type | Within | Who to Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Visible Damage at Delivery | At delivery | Refuse delivery or note on delivery slip |
| Hidden / Internal Damage | 24–48 hours | Courier customer care + RabbitShip Support |
| Non-Delivery (Shows Delivered) | Within 48 hours | Courier partner + RabbitShip Support |
| Lost Parcel (In Transit) | 7–15 days after ETA | RabbitShip Support to initiate investigation |
| Partial / Missing Items | Within 24 hours | Courier partner + RabbitShip Support |
How to File a Damage / Loss Claim
- 1
Document the damage immediately
Take clear photographs of the outer packaging, inner packaging, and the damaged item before discarding any packing material. - 2
Contact the courier partner directly
Use your AWB number to raise a formal complaint on the courier partner's website or customer care. Retain your complaint/ticket number. - 3
Notify RabbitShip Support
Email support@rabbitship.in with your Order ID, AWB number, photographs, and courier complaint ticket number. We will follow up with the courier on your behalf. - 4
Investigation Period
Courier investigations typically take 7–21 business days. The outcome (compensation, replacement, or rejection) is determined by the courier partner's policy.
07 — RTO & Non-Delivery
Return to Origin (RTO)
An RTO occurs when the courier partner is unable to deliver a parcel after multiple attempts and returns it to the sender's (pickup) address.
Common Reasons for RTO
- Recipient not available after 2–3 delivery attempts.
- Recipient refused to accept the delivery.
- Incorrect or incomplete delivery address.
- Delivery address is in an unserviceable area.
- Recipient not reachable on the provided mobile number.
RTO Charges
RTO (return transit) charges are levied by the courier partner and are borne by the sender (you). These charges are separate from the original shipping fee and will be billed to your RabbitShip account or deducted from your wallet.
Refund for RTO Orders
The original shipping charge is non-refundable for RTO orders, as the courier partner has already performed a service (attempted delivery). RTO transit charges will also apply. No refund is issued for RTO caused by the recipient's unavailability, refusal, or incorrect address provided by you.
08 — Wallet & Credits
