2025-12-24

Proactive Documentation is Your Best Defense Against Damage and Loss

International shipping involves a complex journey through multiple handling points, customs checks, and various transport modes. While RizzitGo provides reliable logistics solutions, unforeseen events can sometimes occur. One of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, steps shippers can take is thorough pre-shipment documentation. Storing detailed packaging photos and inspection records creates a crucial safety net.

The Pillars of Pre-Shipment Protection

Effective protection starts before

1. Document the Packaging Process

Photograph the item before

  • Items with protective wrap (bubble wrap, foam).
  • The interior of the box with cushioning material fully installed.
  • The sealed box, showing all sides and the sealing method.
  • Close-ups of the address label and any fragile or handling labels.

2. Conduct a Formal Packing Inspection

Create a simple checklist and record your findings. Key details to note include:

  • Box Integrity:
  • Cushioning:
  • Seal Integrity:
  • Weight & Dimensions:

Store this checklist alongside your photos, noting the date and time of inspection.

3. Leverage the RizzitGo Platform for Records

Use your RizzitGo shipping dashboard as a centralized digital log. Upon creating a shipment:

  • Upload
  • Add Notes:
  • Link External Files:

This creates an immutable, timestamped record tied to your unique tracking number.

How This Documentation Safeguards Your Shipment

Expedited Damage Claims

If a package arrives damaged, you have immediate proof of the item's condition and secure packaging at the point of dispatch. This is invaluable evidence for filing a claim with the carrier or insurance provider.

Clarity in Disputes

Documentation eliminates "he said, she said" scenarios. Your photos and notes provide clear, objective evidence of the shipped state, protecting you in case of disputes.

Proof for Lost Parcel Investigations

For lost parcels, detailed photos of the labeled box assist carriers in identification and search efforts during the investigation phase.

Peace of Mind

Knowing you have a comprehensive record allows you to ship with greater confidence, especially for high-value or sensitive items.
