Shipping Protection ExplainedUpdated a month ago

We know how important it is for your Oodie™ to arrive safe and sound. That's why we offer SavedBy Package Protection - an optional add-on at checkout that helps cover the cost of your order if something goes wrong in transit.

What does SavedBy Package Protection Cover? 

  • Lost Orders:  if your order is confirmed lost in transit, SavedBy can help resolve it.
  • Stolen Orders: if your order is marked delivered but you didn't receive it, SavedBy can help investigate and resolve it (some conditions apply - see below).
  • Damaged Orders: if your order arrives damaged due to carrier mishandling, SavedBy can help make it right.

How to Add SavedBy Package Protection

  • Select the shipping protection option at checkout. The cost is calculated automatically based on your order value.

Note: If you choose not to add SavedBy Package Protection, we can't guarantee a resolution for lost, stolen, or damaged orders - you'd need to go through the courier's standard claims process instead.

How to Make a Claim

  1. Locate Your Details

    • Have your order number and the email address used for purchase ready. You'll also receive a confirmation email from SavedBy once your order ships.

  2. Go to the SavedBy Claim Portal

  3. Select the issue

    • Choose the affected items and the issue type (lost, stolen, or damaged), and your preferred resolution.

  4. Provide evidence where needed

    • For damaged items, include photos of the damage. For certain stolen-package claims, a police report may be required (see below).

  5. Describe What Happened

    • Briefly explain the issue in the “Tell us what happened” section

    • The SavedBy team will review your claim and respond - most claims are resolved within 24 hours, however some cases may take longer.

Claim Timelines 
Timeframes differ depending on the issue, so check which applies to you:

Important Notes

  • High-value or high-risk stolen claims: A police report may be required before SavedBy can process a resolution. If asked, this is a standard part of their review process.
  • Replacement orders: SavedBy Package Protection only applies to your original order. A replacement or reshipped order issued through a successful claim isn't separately covered.
  • If you need help or have questions, please reach out to our Comfort Consultants here.
