If your shipment is even 60 seconds late you are eligible for a full refund. The catch being you have to take your carrier up on the offer, they won’t voluntarily dish out the dollars and hand them over to you. UPS, FedEx, and DHL offer the money-back guarantee as a courtesy but hope no shipper cashes in on the offered refund. As the holidays approach, major carriers suspend the money-back guarantee. It’s important to be aware of the dates that UPS has designated as the ‘no money-back guarantee days’ to avoid any refund surprises.
