What is a Shipment Rebilling and How to raise a dispute ?

Overview on Shipment Rebilling


Rebilling refers to the process of charging a r shipper for additional costs that were not included in the initial transaction. This typically happens when there are adjustments or extra fees that need to be covered after the original billing.

**

It occurs when shipping carriers review a shipment and identify differences between the declared and actual shipment details. Common reasons for rebilling include:


  • Weight and Size Adjustments: If the actual package weight or dimensions exceed what was initially declared, the carrier may charge the difference.

  • Address Corrections: If an incorrect or incomplete address was provided, resulting in additional processing or redelivery fees.

  • Service Upgrades or Surcharges: If the shipment required extra handling or was upgraded to a different service level.


**

Once it happened, you will be notified from your account in the shipping tab. Being notified of a rebilling for a given shipment, does not mean it is definitive. You can still dispute it with proof associated.


Here below are the steps for navigating the rebilled shipments and raise a dispute if the case.
