Stats/experiences around goods lost in transit fraud

Jena — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:36:25 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what levels of goods lost in transit (GLIT) fraud are recorded (or even acknowledged!) by mail order retailers, and what they are currently doing to prevent GLIT losses...

I've heard that this is something that is often overlooked and buried within other general shrinkage losses - is this true?

Also, are carriers & couriers at fault in some cases, and do they proactively try to help retailers avoid such losses (e.g. by witholding parcels where an address looks unoccupied)

Thanks!

Jen
