You may also submit a Cargo Claim request using the RMA Tools found in the My Account section of SouthSmoke.com. All claims must be submitted in writing and telephone communication is not considered sufficient for reporting a cargo claim to SouthSmoke.com.
Damaged and/or missing merchandise must be reported to our company within 72 hours from the time of delivery to ensure that your cargo claim is processed and approved in a timely manner. Failure to report damaged and/or missing merchandise within 72 hours may result in your cargo claim being denied by the shipping carrier. If the shipping carrier indicates that your package was successfully delivered and you are reporting your entire package as missing, your cargo claim will only be honored if the shipping carrier is willing to admit liability for your lost package.
