Shipping overnight or international? You may still be owed late-delivery refunds.
ShipKeep pulls your weekly FedEx and UPS invoices, audits them against the carrier’s own service guarantee, and files the refund claims for you. If we don’t recover anything, you don’t pay anything.
No upfront fee. No software to run. We’re paid from what we recover.
Recovering refunds for shippers like these
Most shippers stopped checking when the guarantees were gutted
Before 2020, carriers guaranteed nearly every service. That ended, and it never fully came back. Today a much narrower band of services carries a money-back guarantee — mostly next-day air and international.
Most shippers reasonably concluded there was nothing left to claim and stopped looking. But the guarantee did not disappear. It shrank. And on the services that still carry it, a late delivery is still a full refund of the shipping charge.
The carriers do not find these for you. A claim only exists if someone identifies the late shipment and files it inside the window.
The window is short
Claims are time-limited — typically 15 days. An invoice that sits unreviewed for three weeks is money that has already expired.
Only some services qualify
Knowing which line items are even eligible means reading the current guarantee terms, which the carriers revise without notice.
The data is not built for auditing
Carrier billing portals are built to collect payment, not to help you find service failures. Nothing flags a late delivery for you.
It has to happen every week
A one-time audit catches one week. Invoices post weekly, so anything less than a weekly review leaves gaps.
We handle the audit. You receive the credits.
There is no software for you to run and no weekly task on your side. After a one-time setup, the only thing that changes is that credits start showing up on your carrier invoice.
- Step 1
You grant billing portal access
One-time setup. You add ShipKeep to your FedEx Billing Online and/or UPS Billing Center profile. That is the last thing we ask you to do.
- Step 2
We pull your invoices weekly
Every week, as invoices post, we retrieve them directly from the carrier. You never upload a file or log into anything.
- Step 3
We audit and file the claims
We check each eligible shipment against the carrier’s committed delivery time and submit refund requests well inside the filing window.
- Step 4
The carrier credits your account
Refunds are credited directly to your carrier account. We verify each credit against what the carrier actually approved, then invoice our share.
You receive the credits — here is how. With FedEx, the charges fall off your current open invoice. With UPS, the credit is applied to your next invoice.
Where ShipKeep recovers the most money
A late delivery on a guaranteed service is a full refund of the shipping charge — and on most accounts nobody is claiming it. Here is how to tell, in about thirty seconds, whether that is money you are handing back to the carrier.
ShipKeep is a great fit if you
- Ship FedEx or UPS every week
- Regularly use next-day air or international services
- Depend on expedited delivery for your customers or operations
- Still hold your carrier service guarantee
- Have no reliable weekly refund process today
If most of these describe you, there is very likely unclaimed refund money sitting in invoices you have already paid. We find it, we file it, and the credits land on your carrier account. Recover nothing, owe nothing.
ShipKeep may not be a fit if you
- Traded your service guarantee away for deeper discounts
- Buy shipping through a GPO — those agreements rarely keep the guarantee
- Have a heavily negotiated enterprise agreement
- Ship mostly ground or other non-guaranteed services
None of this is permanent. Carrier agreements get renegotiated and guarantees come back. If that changes for you, so does the answer.
Not sure which side you land on? Send the form and we will tell you straight, in one email, rather than sell you something that cannot work.
Not all services carry a guarantee
But if you ship a package that does carry one, there is no reason you shouldn’t get your money back when it turns up late. The tables below are the current status of every service, published in full — including the ones that no longer qualify.

You pay a share of what we actually recover
If we don’t recover anything, you don’t pay anything.
ShipKeep is paid a percentage of the refunds a carrier verifiably credits back to your account. Nothing else.
- No subscription
- There is no monthly platform fee and no seat licensing.
- No upfront audit fee
- The initial review costs you nothing.
- No recovery, no invoice
- If a week produces no verified credits, that week costs you nothing.
- Verified credits only
- We bill against what the carrier actually approved, not what we claimed.
Our share is a percentage of verified recoveries, agreed before we start. Ask us for the rate that applies to your volume.
How billing works
We file refund claims weekly as your invoices post. When a carrier approves a claim, the credit is applied directly to your carrier account — the money never passes through ShipKeep.
We then reconcile each credit against what the carrier actually approved. Carriers frequently approve an amount different from the one claimed, and we invoice against the approved figure, never the requested one. You receive an itemised statement showing each recovered shipment.
