Missing or damaged delivery? How to make a complaint
We handle millions of shipments every year according to our well-developed procedures. Unfortunately, it is still the case that a few shipments get damaged or are lost. The way to submit a complaint about this depends on the type of shipment in question and what has happened.

In the event of loss or damage, any compensation is generally based on the weight of the product, not on the value of the product.
If you have taken out the goods insurance that we offer in collaboration with AIG, you can receive full compensation in the event of an accident. Report the damage to AIG by filling in the claim form.
You will find the certificate number on the confirmation you received when you took out the goods insurance.

When we are liable to pay compensation for any damage or loss, we compensate you on the basis of the invoice value.
Depending on which method of transport is used (truck, boat, rail or plane), the liability for damage or losses is limited through laws and provisions on liability.
One example of this is ocean transport, where there is an exemption of liability for general average as well as for fire and running aground.
Limitations (some examples):
- Domestic: Max. SEK 150/gross kg = physical weight.
- International: According to the CMR Convention, max. 8.33 SDR/gross kg (approximately SEK 100/gross kg = physical weight.
Potential for a higher level of compensation
In order to be able to receive full compensation for the value of your goods in the event of an accident, you need to take out goods insurance. Through us, you can take out goods insurance with AIG. Read more and take out goods insurance here.

All types of goods are handled in our business. Some shipments are robust and withstand almost anything. However, others are fragile and at risk of becoming damaged.
As the sender, you have to ensure that goods delivered for transport are provided with a commercial and product-appropriate packaging, which can protect the goods against normal stresses throughout the entire transport. You also need to keep track of Terms and Responsibilities. For example, liquids must not be sent in the parcel system without protective and absorbent materials.
Inadequate packaging, or the lack of refrigerated or heated transport that has been ordered for goods that are sensitive to cold or heat, may entail limitations in the entitlement to compensation. In some cases, no compensation may be paid at all.
As the recipient, you have to act when you receive the shipment. Check the condition of the goods and the packaging when they are handed over to you. Check that the number of goods/parcels matches the information on the consignment note. Tell the driver if anything is damaged or missing, and ask them to make a note of this before you sign the receipt.
