International shipping, while connecting global markets, inherently comes with risks of parcel loss, damage, or disputes. At VigorBuy, we empower you to proactively safeguard your shipments. One of the most effective yet often overlooked strategies is meticulous documentation before
When a parcel goes missing or arrives damaged across borders, the resolution process often hinges on one critical question: What was the condition and content of the package at the point of origin?
By systematically storing clear photographsaccurate weight logs, you create an indisputable record that protects your interests during claims with carriers, insurance companies, or marketplace platforms. Tip: Include a small object for scale (like a pen) or capture the package on a scale displaying its weight in one of the photos. Simply taking photos isn't enough. Organize them securely: Concrete evidence speeds up investigations with carriers and insurance providers, moving you faster toward a resolution or reimbursement. In case of buyer disputes on marketplaces regarding item condition, your photos and logs provide objective proof of what was shipped. Maintain clear records for your own business processes, ensuring packaging standards and verifying charges based on package dimensions and weight. While VigorBuy and our carrier partners work diligently to ensure safe passage for every parcel, the power of personal documentation cannot be overstated.
