At Aramex we understand that a damaged parcel, or non-delivery of one, can happen in our network. You may be entitled to compensation if this should occur.
Claim Application
Claim Application Form
You can download our Claim Application Form and submit this, along with the supporting documentation required, which is outlined below, directly to our National Claims team for processing of your application.
There are two supporting documents that must be included with your application, these are;
- A copy of the sales invoice or receipt provided to your customer, OR a copy of your supplier’s invoice to you for the goods you are submitting a claim application for; &
- An invoice charging Aramex New Zealand for the cost price of the goods (template available here).
Notification Period
The timeframe for submission of an enquiry into the goods must be within seven (7) days from the date of delivery for any damaged items, and within thirty (30) days from the date of dispatch for any items that have not been delivered. This notification must be made in writing by way of email or online enquiry, and can be done on your behalf by your local Regional Franchise.
Steps to lodging a Claim Application
An enquiry must be submitted either online, through our submission form, via the button below (use the button link there) or via phone or email with your local Franchise branch.
Our customer services teams will then investigate and do their best to locate and deliver the goods. If we are unable to do this for you, it is time to submit a claim application form and our teams will notify you when to submit an application. You can download a form.
Once a completed claim application form has been sent and our team have begun to work on it, we will send you a notification via email. Once you receive this, we aim to have an outcome notification email sent to you within ten (10) working days, however, this may extend due to the quality of information provided and the complexity of any claim.
