In the complex world of international logistics, disputes over damaged or lost goods are a significant source of financial loss and operational delay. At RizzitGo, we advocate for a simple, yet powerful, practice to dramatically lower this risk: the systematic documentation of pre-shipment and packaging photos.
The High Stakes of International Shipping
Moving goods across borders involves multiple handoffs, carriers, and environmental conditions. When an item arrives damaged or fails to arrive at all, determining liability becomes a challenge. Without clear evidence, these disputes often result in lengthy investigations, denied claims, and strained client relationships. The financial burden typically falls on the shipper or consignee.
Visual Evidence: Your First Line of Defense
A comprehensive set of photographs taken before the shipment leaves your control serves as an impartial and factual record. This visual proof is universally understood and carries substantial weight with carriers, insurance adjusters, and clients.
