When this happens, you will need to file a claim with FedEx so the company can begin an investigation to either locate the lost parcel or compensate you for its loss. </p><h2>How to file a missing package claim with FedEx</h2><p>When you're ready to begin your claim, you can do so by visiting the <strong><a href="https://www.fedex.com/apps/onlineclaims/'locale=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FedEx claims site</a></strong> and completing these steps.</p><p><strong>1.</strong> In the box provided, enter your package's tracking number or your PRO (progressive) number. </p><p><strong>2.</strong> In the "Claim Type" dropdown menu, select the type of claim you're making. In the case of a missing package, you'll want to choose "Shipment not received" before clicking "Continue." </p><p><img src="https://static5.businessinsider.com/image/5fbebc91037cbd001861265b-1776/missingfedexpackage2.png" border="0" alt="missing_fedex_package_2" data-mce-source="Jennifer Still/Business Insider" data-mce-caption="Enter your tracking/PRO Number, select your Claim Type, and click &quotContinue.&quot"></p><p><strong>3.</strong> On the following page, you will be shown the updated tracking information about your package.

You should also give as much detail as possible about the missing items such as the currency the item was paid for in, the category of the item that's missing, etc. Then, hit "Continue."</p><p><img src="https://static5.businessinsider.com/image/5fbebf49037cbd0018612692-1498/missingfedexpackage4.png" border="0" alt="missing_fedex_package_4" data-mce-source="Jennifer Still/Business Insider" data-mce-caption="Add additional details, upload supporting documents, and hit &quotContinue.&quot"></p><p><strong>5.</strong> Next, add your contact information in the fields provided including name, address, phone number, and preferred method of contact.

Once logged in, you will need to select the "File Batch Claims" tab at the top of your screen and download the provided template. After filling in the requested information, you can then re-upload the saved file and submit your claim. Note that you must be the sender of the packages in order to file batch claims. </p><h2>Who can file a missing package claim with FedEx</h2><p>Anyone can file a missing package claim with FedEx, whether you're the sender, receiver, or a third party, so long as you're claiming for US domestic shipments, shipments from the US to an international location, or a package sent from Canada to the US. However, you will need to have certain information handy before you begin your claim, most importantly the item's tracking number.</p><p>You should also consider adding supporting documentation either at the time of filing or after the claim is submitted, which could not only help expedite your claim's processing but increase your chances of it succeeding. Supporting documentation can include photos or invoices that verify the amount of your claim, expense statements, or original purchase orders where appropriate. </p><h2><strong>Related coverage from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-reference" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-post-depth="100">Tech Reference</a>:</strong></h2><ul><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-track-fedex-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-post-depth="100">How to track a FedEx order online or contact FedEx for delivery issues<br></a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-track-ups-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-post-depth="100">How to track a UPS order, leave instructions for delivery, or find a missing package</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-track-usps-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-post-depth="100">How to track a USPS order, get updates on your expected delivery, and find a missing package</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-track-amazon-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to track your Amazon order on a computer or mobile device</a></h3></li><li><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-track-ebay-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-post-depth="100">How to track an eBay order if the seller has provided tracking information, or contact the seller for updates</a></h3></li></ul><p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-router'tht" >The best routers</a></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fedex-missing-package#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p> <p>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-symphony-seas-worlds-largest-cruise-ship-deals-with-waste-2020-3">How waste is dealt with on the world's largest cruise ship</a></p>
