2. Simply click on the 'Download DOR' button and select the language you need. After a few seconds the DOR will download.
   
3. Each DOR comes pre-filled using the shipment information, as well as containing an instruction page explaining how they can digitally sign the DOR using tools such a Adobe Acrobat. 

If Seven Senders' tracking is incomplete

In some cases Seven Senders' tracking data may be incomplete. This can happen due to delays in receiving updates from the carrier or errors which stop the data ever arriving. As a result, Seven Senders tracking can be missing the key events of first hub scan and/or delivery date, even if they're present in the carrier's tracking.

If your shipment has incomplete Seven Senders' tracking data, you can still submit a claim, however you will need to

1. Manually enter the tracking data for the first hub scan date and/or the delivery date from the carrier's tracking
2. Upload a screenshot of the carrier's tracking page showing the missing events. This will serve as proof that these events occurred and confirm that the issue lies with Seven Senders' tracking.

Important note for shipments delivered by Seven Senders: A first hub scan is always required to submit a claim, and in the case of damage or missing item claims, a delivery event as well.

What is a first hub scan? A first hub scan is when the shipment is first scanned by the last mile carrier at one of their hubs. It is not when the shipment was created or registered or when it was picked up from the warehouse. 

How to submit a claim via Claim Centre

2. Once you are logged in, navigate to the Claim Centre. To learn more about Claim Centre click here.
3. Once in the Claim Centre click on the button Submit a Claim and a side panel will open.
   
4. Follow the required steps and then submit you claim.

Important Notice for Return Shipments

In many cases, the delivery date we receive in the tracking data for return shipments reflects the date the package was delivered to the carrier’s hub, rather than your warehouse. This discrepancy can lead to damage and missing item claims being mistakenly declined, as the delivery date to the carrier's hub may fall outside our deadlines.

To prevent unnecessary claim rejections, we ask you to confirm the actual delivery date, i.e., the date when the package was delivered to your warehouse, during the claim submission process. This request only applies to return or portal return shipments where the deadlines have already passed.

Please note that your confirmation of the actual delivery date is legally binding.
