Why We Updated Our Damaged Parcel Claims Process

Why We Updated Our Damaged Parcel Claims Process
Customer Notice

This article explains recent updates to the Imperial Peptides UK damaged parcel and transit claims process. Our goal is to improve transparency, support courier investigations, and help genuine claims be resolved as efficiently as possible.

As e-commerce technology evolves, courier claims and parcel verification processes are also changing.

Across the wider online retail industry, there has been a growing increase in the use of AI-edited and manipulated parcel images submitted during shipping and damage claims.

In response, many retailers, logistics providers, and courier networks are strengthening their verification requirements to help ensure claims can be reviewed fairly, accurately, and efficiently.


Why Verification Standards Matter

Courier investigations typically require clear evidence showing the condition of the parcel at the time of delivery and opening.

Incomplete or heavily cropped images can make it difficult for courier networks to verify claims or determine whether damage occurred during transit.

Updated verification standards help improve consistency across the claims process while supporting faster resolution for genuine cases.

Why Original Packaging Must Be Included

Under our updated claims process, submitted images must include the original packaging with the shipping label clearly visible within the photographs provided.

This helps:

  • support courier investigations
  • verify shipment authenticity
  • confirm parcel handling during transit
  • reduce delays during claims review
  • improve consistency across submitted evidence

These requirements are increasingly common across modern e-commerce logistics and are intended to help legitimate claims be processed more efficiently.

Claims Requirements
What Submitted Images Should Include
  • Original parcel packaging
  • Visible shipping label within the image
  • Clear photographs of any reported damage
  • Images showing internal protective packaging where applicable
  • Unedited and uncropped photographs

Use of Image Verification Tools

As part of our updated process, submitted claim images may be reviewed using image verification and metadata analysis tools.

These systems are designed to help identify image inconsistencies, editing artefacts, or duplicated content which may affect courier investigations.

The purpose of these checks is not to create barriers for customers, but rather to improve fairness and maintain reliable evidence standards across all submitted claims.

Supporting Genuine Customers

We understand that transit damage can occasionally occur despite protective packaging and careful dispatch procedures.

Our updated process is intended to support genuine customers by helping claims move through review and courier escalation more efficiently.

Clear evidence standards also help us maintain consistency when working with courier providers and shipping insurers.

Customer Guidance
If You Need to Submit a Transit Claim
  • Retain all original packaging
  • Photograph the parcel before disposal
  • Ensure shipping labels remain visible within images
  • Provide clear photographs of reported damage
  • Avoid editing or cropping submitted images
