Quick answer
With Safe Shipping, any item that got damaged and reported within 7 days of delivery, or got lost in shipping, is covered. Our Resolutions Team will work with you to quickly resolve the issue. Safe Shipping can be applied to shipping labels at purchase. If a shipment is damaged or lost, contact Reverb Support to open a Safe Shipping claim.
To open a Safe Shipping claim:
- Contact Reverb Support to file the claim within 7 days of delivery, or if your package is confirmed to be lost.
- A Resolutions Specialist will contact you by email to gather additional information and begin the claim process.
Our Resolutions Team will request photo and/or video documentation to help with evaluation (when necessary). You can send this documentation through Reverb messages ahead of time, which our team can also see.
Safe Shipping is only available for shipping labels purchased through Reverb.
Important: If you decline Safe Shipping, you assume responsibility for any loss or damages to your shipment. Your shipment does not carry protection from Reverb or the carrier.
