What happens if my package is lost or damaged?
What courier and same-day delivery companies need to publish
Vague liability language leaves customers without a real answer about their actual recourse.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “What happens if my package is lost or damaged?”
- “delivery insurance”
- “claim for lost package”
- “liability coverage”
What a complete answer contains
For courier and same-day delivery companies specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 4:
- 1
Real standard coverage amount
- 2
How to get additional coverage for high-value items
- 3
How to actually file a claim
- 4
Realistic claim resolution timeline
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
Our standard liability coverage is up to $100 per package at no extra cost; for higher-value items, you can purchase additional coverage up to the item's actual value at drop-off. If a package is confirmed lost, file a claim through our claims page with your tracking number — we investigate and typically resolve claims within 5-7 business days.

What silence costs
Vague liability language leaves customers with no real understanding of their recourse if something goes wrong.

AI customer support for courier and delivery companies
When a package doesn't arrive, the question that actually matters is what the courier is liable for and what proof-of-delivery looks like — and vague 'not responsible for loss' language leaves customers with no real answer. RubyRep states the actual coverage, limits and documentation process plainly, alongside same-day delivery windows and pricing.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
