What’s audited
Service failures.
Service failures include shipments that were delivered late for reasons related to carrier network disruptions. These potential savings are commonly referred to as Money Back Guarantees.
Manifested not shipped.
Carriers charge for shipping labels printed, even those that are not used. These can be voided for a refund when not intended for use.
Invalid Saturday surcharges.
Pickups and deliveries scheduled for Saturday are charged additional fees. These fees are recoverable in the case of no action on the scheduled date.
Invalid residential surcharges.
Commercial addresses are sometimes charged additional fees reserved for residential addresses. These fees are recoverable when such fees are incorrectly applied.
Invalid delivery area surcharges.
Rural delivery zones are charged additional fees. These fees are recoverable on recent shipments when incorrectly applied.
Invalid fuel surcharges.
Fuel surcharges are applied to shipments that are delivered to residential addresses and extended delivery areas.
Duplicate charges.
Duplicate invoices, tracking numbers, and cost components occur within carrier statements.
Invalid dimensional weight.
Scanned dimensional weight adjustments that increase the rated weight of a shipment.
Discount mistakes.
This is an estimate. Performance pricing and discounts are analyzed in the full audit performed on customer accounts.
Each auditing point is listed and the amount of potential savings is displayed. The next step after analysis is to sign up for the Bear Down Parcel auditing and claim filing service. Claims must be filed for the refunds to be secured.
