FedEx®
To make the claim process as quick as possible, FedEx® may suggest uploading supporting documentation for the claim as soon as you get it. If filing the claim manually, you can Add To A Claim using the FedEx® online service. You will then be directed to drag and drop documents from your computer to your open claim.
Tip for FedEx® claims: Documentation is not required for claims with declared values of less than $100.
