Purpose
Our Refund and Claim Policy outlines the procedures and requirements for filing claims related to insured goods, including lost, damaged, or undelivered items. This policy is designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability while helping customers understand their rights and the process for seeking compensation. PrimePathShip Logistics is committed to providing efficient and reliable support throughout the claims process.

PrimePathShip Logistics reserves the right to request additional documentation during the investigation process.

Package Value Verification
PrimePathShip Logistics reserves the right to verify the declared value of any shipment.

Maximum Insurance Coverage
The maximum declared value eligible for insurance coverage is: USD $10,000 per package, USD $15,000 per pallet. For shipments exceeding these limits, customers must contact a PrimePathShip Logistics Account Manager prior to shipping for review and approval of additional coverage options.
Damaged Items
Where insurance coverage has been purchased, PrimePathShip Logistics will assess the extent of damage and determine the appropriate resolution. Depending on the circumstances, the company may repair the item, replace the item, or provide reimbursement based on insured value. Any decision regarding repair or replacement will be made in consultation with the customer. Refurbished, used, second‑hand, or pre‑owned items may not be eligible for reimbursement due to the inherent risks associated with such products.
