Shipping Protection Claim Policy
Last updated: May 7, 2026
Melt Shipping Protection covers eligible orders against loss, damage, or theft during transit. Coverage applies only to orders where Shipping Protection was added at checkout.
Coverage Window
Claims must be filed within 14 days of the order's fulfillment date — the date the shipping label was created and the package handed off to the carrier. Claims filed after 14 days are not eligible.
What's Covered
- Lost in transit — tracking shows movement then stops; no delivery scan after 7+ days
- Damaged on arrival — visible damage to the product or packaging at delivery, with photo evidence
- Stolen — tracking shows "Delivered" but package was not received
What's Not Covered
- Orders shipped without Shipping Protection at checkout
- Refused deliveries or packages returned to sender
- Incorrect shipping addresses entered at checkout
- Claims filed more than 14 days after fulfillment
- Products that have been opened, used, or consumed
- Carrier-confirmed delivery to the correct address with no theft report
How to File a Claim
Email support@gotmelt.com with:
- Order number
- Reason for claim (lost / damaged / stolen)
- For damage: clear photos of the product and packaging
- For theft: confirmation you've checked with neighbors/household and a brief non-receipt statement
- For loss: tracking number
We respond within 1–2 business days.
Resolution
At Melt's discretion, eligible claims are resolved with one of:
- Replacement of the same items at no charge
- Store credit equal to the protected items' value
- Refund equal to the protected items' value
Shipping Protection premiums are non-refundable.
Carrier Claims
For lost or damaged USPS shipments, we may ask you to file a basic claim with USPS first as part of evidence collection. We handle the rest from there.
