Status and value of every claim in one view.
No migration. Shipherd reads from your existing stack.
Yes. Guaranteed services such as Parcelforce Express 24 carry a delivery guarantee, and the carrier owes compensation when the parcel arrives late. Most sellers never claim it because checking every parcel against each carrier's terms is manual work nobody has time for.
Shipherd identified 6% of shipments as claimable for one retailer in a single month. The figure varies by carrier mix, service level and season, and tends to rise sharply during peak trading periods.
Shipherd works with the major UK carriers including Parcelforce, Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, UPS, DHL and FedEx. Each carrier's own service terms and claim windows are applied rather than a generic rule.
No. Shipherd files and chases claims on your behalf and tracks each one to resolution, so the work does not land back on your operations team.
You only pay us if we recover. The fee is a share of what actually comes back, so if nothing lands you owe nothing.
Claiming against a contracted service level is a normal commercial process, not a dispute. The same performance data also strengthens your position at contract renewal, which is usually worth more than the claims themselves.
Marketplace refunds where the item never came back are reimbursable. Finding them means reconciling three separate reports against each other.
For finance leadersNothing surfaces what marketplaces and carriers owe you. There is no report, no alert, no line in the P&L that says unclaimed.
