01
Declared-value fees are unaudited
Carriers bill declared-value per $100 over a threshold. Mismatches between insured value and actual claim payout are common.
Industries · Consumer Electronics
High-value parcels, audited end to end.
Electronics shippers pay surcharges other categories don't see — signature required, declared value, adult signature. Each is negotiable. Combined with theft exposure and high return value, the audit is non-trivial.
Where the money leaks
Three problems we see in every electronics audit.
02
Signature surcharges accumulate
Signature-required and adult-signature surcharges on high-value parcels add up fast at scale.
03
Theft and porch piracy losses
Lost-package claims for electronics get extra scrutiny. Documentation matters more than for other categories.
Our playbook
Four levers, specifically for electronics.
01
Declared-value renegotiation
Negotiate the per-$100 fee specifically rather than accepting the default schedule.
02
Signature surcharge caps
Caps or eliminations on signature fees on lanes where they're not actually required.
03
Loss claim automation
Lost-package claims filed weekly with full documentation. Higher approval rate than ad-hoc filing.
04
International reseller for ROW
DHL reseller rates for international electronics shipments. Cuts the worst-margin lanes.
