Split shipment chargebacks happen when a customer says they never got their full order and this comes up pretty frequently with bigger orders, inventory problems, or when you have to ship from different warehouses. Around 23% of merchandise disputes involve delivery uncertainty and split shipments usually get hit especially hard because customers either don’t understand what’s going on or they see an opportunity to game the system.
Everything gets tougher when you have multiple tracking numbers to manage, with packages that arrive on different days and you only get partial confirmations. A customer might get the first box out of three and panic, then file a chargeback right away because they don’t understand that more packages are on the way. But some customers will use this uncertainty deliberately – they’ll hang onto everything that arrives and still claim that they never received the order.
When your records on split shipments are messy or incomplete, your odds of winning these disputes take a big hit. If you don’t have solid evidence that connects the packages back to a single order, you’re going to lose cases that you should actually win. You lose that revenue and your chargeback ratio starts to climb – which means that you’ll pay higher processing fees or face account restrictions. Strong replies that show the full fulfillment chain help you recover around 68% of these disputed transactions. Complete records of your communications also help to stop future disputes because they create a track record of successful multi-package deliveries.
A structured template for split shipment disputes means that you won’t accidentally leave out evidence that matters. For starters, it organizes all your tracking numbers in chronological order so the reviewer can follow faster how the full delivery played out and it also reminds you to include every communication you had with the customer about what to expect with shipping and it has sections built in for package manifests, warehouse records and the sequence of customer notifications that are specific to orders with multiple shipments and it also calculates the delivery timelines between each package so you can show that your fulfillment practices were fair and matched what the customer agreed to at checkout.
