Massood Logistics Claims Policy
At Massood Logistics, we are committed to delivering exceptional third-party logistics (3PL) services, specializing in furniture warehousing, distribution, and last-mile delivery. We recognize the importance of handling claims efficiently to maintain trust and satisfaction among our clients. This Claims Policy outlines the procedures for reporting and resolving claims related to loss, damage, or service issues.
For questions or assistance, please contact our Dedicated Claims Department at [email protected] or fill out our Contact Form. Please include the word “CLAIMS” in the message line.
1. Proof of Delivery (POD) Policy
Once the delivery recipient signs the Proof of Delivery confirming that no damage occurred to the merchandise or property, Massood Logistics cannot honor any claims for damage, loss, or property issues reported afterward.
2. Claim Submission Timeline
All claims must be submitted within 5 business days of delivery. Claims must include:
- Photographs of the damage
- Surrounding area and packaging
- Shipment and delivery details
Claims received after this 5-day window will not be eligible for compensation.
3. Fragile Item Policy
Massood Logistics cannot accept claims for products made of inherently fragile materials, including:
- Glass
- Mirrors
- Marble
- Ceramics
- Tile
- Rugs or carpets
Additionally, we do not deluxe light-colored or fragile upholstery.
4. Insurance Coverage Limits
- Claims are only eligible up to the insured value declared at time of booking.
- Maximum claimable value is $5,000 per order.
- Insurance limits may be increased during booking, up to the $5,000 cap.
- Any product for which a claim is paid becomes the property of Massood Logistics.
5. Concealed Damage
If Massood Logistics is only responsible for shipping to a final mile terminal (not delivery), we will only honor claims where clear and documented damage to packaging exists. Concealed damage without external packaging issues will not be covered.

- If the item cannot be repaired or the repair fails, a replacement may be approved.

We are allotted 14 business days to attempt a repair. If repairs do not take place within that window:

8. Loaner Deliveries
If the shipper requests delivery of a damaged item as a temporary loaner:
- Massood Logistics is not responsible for the cost of the replacement.
