Missing Items in Order: How to Get Refund for Partial Delivery

Missing Items in Order: How to Get Refund for Partial Delivery

Understanding Partial Delivery and Your Rights

What Qualifies as Partial Delivery?

Partial delivery occurs when:

  • Some items missing: You ordered multiple products but received only some of them
  • Quantity shortfall: You ordered 5 units but received only 2
  • Incomplete sets: You ordered a complete set but received only partial components
  • Substituted items: Seller sent different items without authorization
  • Empty packages: Package arrived but was empty or contained wrong items
  • Damaged items removed: Carrier removed damaged items but you weren't refunded

Your Legal Rights Under Federal Law

FTC Mail/Telephone Order Rule guarantees:

  • 1
    Right to receive what you ordered: Sellers must ship what you ordered or get your consent for substitutions
  • 2
    Timely delivery: Items must arrive when promised or within 30 days
  • 3
    Prompt refund: If items can't be delivered, you must receive a refund within specific timeframes
  • 4
    Clear disclosure: Sellers must inform you of delays or shortages
  • 5
    Option to cancel: You can cancel for missing items and receive a full refund

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides:

  • Perfect tender rule: Seller must deliver exactly what was ordered
  • Right to reject: You can reject partial deliveries that don't match your order
  • Cover damages: Right to purchase elsewhere and recover price differences
  • Consequential damages: Compensation for losses caused by missing items

State-Specific Protections

Many states enhance federal protections:

California Civil Code § 1722: Strengthens mail order consumer rights with stricter timelines

New York General Business Law § 396-r: Requires detailed disclosure of item availability

Texas Business & Commerce Code: Provides additional remedies for incomplete deliveries

Florida Deceptive Trade Practices: Covers misleading availability claims

Immediate Steps When Items Are Missing

Step 1: Verify What's Missing (Same Day)

Create a detailed inventory immediately:

Physical inspection checklist:

  • Photograph the packaging (all sides, labels, condition)
  • Document everything you received with photos
  • Weigh the package if it seems too light
  • Save all packing materials and slips
  • Check for evidence of tampering or resealing
  • Review packing slip against actual contents
  • Note any substitutions or wrong items

Documentation to gather:

  • Original order confirmation with item list
  • Item prices and quantities ordered
  • Promised delivery date
  • Actual delivery date and time
  • Tracking information
  • Any delivery photos from carrier
  • Payment receipt showing total charged

Step 2: Contact the Seller Immediately

First contact protocol (within 24-48 hours):

  • 3
    Proof of attempts to resolve:

- Chat transcripts

- Phone call logs with dates/times

    Value calculation:

- Itemized list of missing items

Responding to Merchant Rebuttal

Sellers often claim:

Merchant: "Package weight confirms all items were included"

Your response:

  • Request official weight documentation
  • Compare to total weight of items ordered
  • Provide photos showing box was too light/small
  • Note that packing materials add weight

Merchant: "Packing slip error - all items were shipped"

Your response:

  • If all items were shipped, where are they?
  • Demand proof: warehouse footage, additional tracking
  • Photos prove what was actually in the box
  • Packing slip is their official record

Merchant: "Customer must have removed items before photos"

Your response:

  • Photos taken immediately upon opening
  • Timestamp on photos proves timing
  • No motive to scam for low-value items
  • Long customer history with no issues
