- Defining the damage compensation service
The shipper is required to declare an estimated value that will later be used as the basis for any compensation claims; thus, in case of any damages, Tipax will refer back to the agreement and compensate the loss accordingly.
Note: compensation, as stated in the agreement, includes the loss or damage of the package or any temperament with the contents of the package.
Client: stated in the agreement to mean the recipient of the service, either the shipper or the receiver.
- Submitting a claim
Follow the following steps to submit a compensation claim:
- Declaring the estimated value of the package at the time of recovery by the Tipax carrier
- Registering the package's value by the Tipax carrier
- Receiving a notification SMS: this SMS includes the estimated value of the package. The declared value sets the maximum compensation amount that can be paid to the client in case of any damages.
- Commitment and the service costs
The cost of compensation services, as well as the compensation amounts, can be seen in the table below. The cots will be added to the client's bill when payment is due.

In cases where the value of the package increases 500 thousand tomans, the minutes should be drawn up at one of Tipax's branch offices and include both parties` signatures. The opening of the package will be recorded at the Tipax branch office.
- Repairing the contents of the package
If the package is damaged and Tipax confirms the injury, and in cases where repairing the damage is a viable option, the client can bring in documents of the expenses and request a repair fee. This repair fee should not exceed 50% of the whole value of the package.
