Frequently asked
- How long do I have to file?
- For interstate moves under the Carmack Amendment (49 U.S.C. § 14706), you generally have 9 months from delivery to file a written claim.
- What is 60 cents per pound?
- That's released-value protection, the default minimum liability. If you bought full-value protection, say so in the letter — it changes the math entirely.
- What if I already signed the delivery receipt?
- Signing doesn't waive a claim for concealed damage. Note the date you discovered it in the facts section.
- Should I send this by certified mail?
- For chargebacks, refund demands, and warranty disputes, certified mail with return receipt creates a paper trail. We recommend it for anything over $100.
- Do I need an account to start?
- No. You can fill out the form and generate a draft for free. You only pay when you want to unlock and download the final letter.
- How much does it cost?
- Downloading a letter is a flat $2 — any dispute type. Want it sent for you? $8 covers printing and USPS Certified Mail with tracking. Subscription plans are also available if you expect to send several letters.
- Will this letter actually work?
- A well-written, specific letter — citing the right rules and a clear desired outcome — dramatically increases your odds. We can't guarantee any particular result, but a real letter beats silence every time.
