Dispute Resolution

Resolve Quantity Discrepancy Claims

How to prove the correct number of items were packed using verified video that captures each product entering the box.

Quantity Claims Cost More Than the Missing Items

A customer reports receiving fewer items than ordered. You’re confident the count was correct at packing, but without proof, you’re issuing a refund or sending replacements for products you already shipped.

Refunds for Items You Actually Sent

Every uncontested quantity claim means paying for products twice — once for the original shipment and again for the refund or replacement. The margin loss compounds quickly across hundreds of orders.

Bulk and Wholesale Order Exposure

Orders with large unit counts are prime targets for quantity disputes. A claim of "50 received instead of 60" on a wholesale order can cost hundreds of dollars in a single incident.

Internal Investigation Dead Ends

When a claim comes in, operations teams review pick lists and weight logs, but these records prove what was supposed to happen — not what actually went into the box.

Strained Customer Relationships

Quantity disputes erode trust on both sides. Customers feel shortchanged, and sellers feel taken advantage of. Without objective evidence, every resolution leaves one party dissatisfied.

Why Count-Based Evidence Fails

Pick Lists Record Intent, Not Action

A pick list confirms the system directed the packer to include ten units. It doesn’t confirm ten units were physically placed in the box. The gap between instruction and execution is where claims arise.

Weight Checks Are Imprecise

Weighing a package can flag major discrepancies but cannot distinguish between 11 and 12 small items. For lightweight products, weight-based verification has too wide a margin of error.

Count Verification Is Rarely Documented

Even when packers count items carefully, that counting process isn’t recorded. A verbal count or mental tally leaves no evidence trail when a dispute surfaces weeks later.

Photos Cannot Capture Quantity Clearly

Photographing a pile of identical items in a box does not produce clear evidence of the exact count. Items overlap, stack, and obscure each other in static images.

How Video Evidence Proves Exact Counts

Video captures each unit as it’s placed into the package one at a time, creating a countable visual record that eliminates ambiguity about quantities.

Frame-by-Frame Countable Evidence

Each item is visible as it enters the box in sequence. Anyone reviewing the footage can count units independently, removing reliance on the packer’s word alone.

Handles High Unit Counts

Whether an order contains 5 items or 500, video captures every unit being packed. For large orders, the recording serves as a definitive inventory of what was shipped.

Immutable Proof of When the Count Happened

SHA-512 hashing and locked timestamps prove the counting footage was captured at the time of packing and hasn’t been altered. This prevents challenges about when or how the evidence was created.

Evidence That Scales Without Extra Labour

Recording adds no significant time to the packing process. You get verified count evidence for every order without hiring additional staff for manual double-checks.

How to Prove Correct Quantities With PackProof

1

Position the Camera Over the Packing Area

Mount a phone, tablet, or webcam so it has a clear view of the box interior and the surface where items are staged before packing.

2

Pack Items Individually Into the Box

Place each unit into the package one at a time, allowing the camera to capture every item entering the box. For bulk orders, work in visible batches.

3

Automatic Verification on Completion

When packing is finished, PackProof generates a SHA-512 cryptographic hash and immutable timestamp, sealing the footage as verified evidence for that order.

4

Retrieve the Count Record for Any Order

Search by order number when a dispute arises. Share the verified recording showing every unit being packed to resolve the claim with objective visual proof.
