Shipping Forms

Below is a list of commonly-used shipping industry forms. Most of these forms can be viewed, edited on-screen and printed. If you need a form not listed here, simply contact us, and we will locate one for you.

PartnerShip BOL (PDF)
To ship freight out of your business, fill out a PartnerShip Bill of Lading (BOL). Complete the BOL ahead of time, call your carrier for pickup, and give your BOL to the driver at the time of pickup.

Vendor List Form (PDF)
If you are looking for a simple way to jump start your savings on inbound shipments to your business, the Vendor List Form will help. Simply list your Top 10 vendors that you buy from on the form and then mail or fax the form to PartnerShip. We will then notify each of your vendors about your shipping instructions. Once this is done, you will start to see your inbound shipping cost drop and the level of service you receive from your shipping carriers increase.

Cargo Claims Forms
If you need to file a cargo claim with a carrier for either loss or damage to a shipment, you must fill out a claim form. Each carrier has specific information they require when filing a claim, but most carriers request similar information. Please click on the link above to see a list of carriers' claims forms. Although you are not required to use their form to file a claim, we recommend using their form, and providing all the needed information they request to process your claim.

Inbound Receiving Log (PDF)
Manage incoming shipments more effectively with the use of an inbound receiving log. Each time you receive a shipment, make note of the date, carrier, the supplier's name, purchase order number, and tracking number. This record of your incoming shipments serves as a valuable resource if you need to reference a particular shipment for any reason.

Overcharges or Billed in Error Forms
If you paid your shipping invoice from a carrier and later determined that you were overcharged on your original invoice (i.e., you did not receive your proper discount, or you were billed for a service fee that didn't occur), you can file an overcharge claim with the carrier to get a refund. You will likely need to file the overcharge claim within a few months of the invoice date. The above link will provide you with forms from our carriers. If your FedEx account was billed in error for a shipment, you can request to have the shipment re-billed to another customer's account and receive a credit from FedEx.
