Why weight disputes happen

Courier dimensional-weight machines drift, packets get re-weighed at hubs, and rate-cards apply different rounding rules. Without a structured dispute workflow, merchants often pay more than what was actually shipped — and have no audit trail to challenge it.

How the ShipyBox workflow works

Every billed weight is matched against your manifested weight. When a discrepancy is detected, ShipyBox creates a reconciliation record so you can review it, decide whether to raise a dispute, upload supporting evidence and follow it through to resolution. The admin team coordinates the courier-side communication on your behalf.

  • 1. Discrepancy detection
    Per-AWB delta surfaced as a reconciliation record.
  • 2. Merchant review
    You decide whether to accept the charge or raise a dispute.
  • 3. Evidence upload
    Attach images, weight slips or PDFs to support the dispute.
  • 4. Courier evidence management
    Admin attaches courier-side evidence (where shared) for transparent review.
  • 5. Admin remarks
    Admin communicates findings; every message stays in the record.
  • 6. Audit trail
    Every action — raise, upload, remark, status change — is timestamped and visible.
  • 7. Resolution recorded
    Outcome (credit, charge sustained, partial) is recorded against the AWB and visible in your ledger.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does ShipyBox auto-settle weight claims with the courier?

No. ShipyBox surfaces discrepancies and provides a structured workflow for you to raise disputes, attach evidence and track resolution. The admin team coordinates communication with the courier — final settlement is recorded against the AWB once the courier responds.

What if my manifested weights are wrong?

ShipyBox cross-checks against your historical shipments to recommend accurate per-SKU packed weights. You can also bulk-upload from your WMS so future reconciliations reflect reality.

How long does a dispute take?

Resolution timelines depend on the courier and the evidence available. ShipyBox keeps every dispute visible with its current status, last admin remark and audit history so nothing falls through the cracks.

Can I see the full history of a dispute?

Yes. Every reconciliation record carries a complete audit trail — when it was raised, who uploaded what evidence, every admin remark and the final resolution — visible to your team at any time.
