A parcel is considered lost if there is no tracking for more than 30 calendar days. In such a case Nova Poshta will acknowledge the loss and compensate the estimated value of the cargo according to the claim.<\/p><p class=\"space\">Within 30 days, Nova Poshta conducts a search, and the cargo has the status of temporarily lost. Also, in case of damage to the cargo, if the fault of the postal service is proven, compensation is possible. If the parcel was damaged, it is mandatory to document the damage with the courier and prepare an act. The documented damage will be reflected in the last-mile tracking. If the packaging was incorrect, Nova Poshta is not responsible for damage to the cargo, since packaging is the sender&#8217;s responsibility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0073ba7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0073ba7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">UPS EXPRESS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dac44e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dac44e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Western Bid guarantees that all documents for sending UPS parcels, paid by the customer and printed from the customer&#8217;s Personal Account, are correct and comply with UPS standards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"space\">Western Bid offers optional insurance for all parcels sent via UPS and undertakes to pay compensation within the insured terms and in the insured amount. The insurance is activated at the moment the parcel is registered in the UPS tracking system. Parcels are insured only against loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"space\">The insurance does not cover cases of loss of parcels before they are registered in the UPS tracking system, i.e., in cases where the parcel is lost en route to UPS by a third party (Nova Poshta, etc.). The decision to pay insurance is made only by Western Bid managers based on the parcel data received from UPS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"space\">Western Bid insurance does not cover cases of damage to parcels and\/or their contents during transportation. Of course, Western Bid provides reasonable assistance to its clients in case of damage to the parcel, but does not guarantee either timeframes or amounts of compensation from UPS. In case of parcel damage the recipient should call a UPS representative and file an official claim, providing the damaged parcel to the UPS representative for assessment of the loss value, after which UPS should send a report to Western Bid and inform whether there will be compensation, when and in what form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"space\">If the parcel was left at the door, you can contact the local UPS offline and online and document the damage \u2013 if the parcel is not opened and even if opened (though, in the latter case, lower chances of proving the postal service fault). In addition, dear clients, before sending the parcel to the buyer you can hedge your risk by including in the message something like: \u201cDear buyer, your purchase looks like this (photo); if the box is damaged, dented \u2013 do not unwrap! You can prepare a damage report at the nearest UPS branch\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"space\">Western Bid does not guarantee the timeframes specified by UPS directly to our clients, or stated through promotional materials on Western Bid&#8217;s website pages or in social networks.
