Refunds and Disputes

When a Refund May Be Issued

Refunds are handled through Baleport’s escrow system. Since your payment is held securely until delivery is confirmed, refunds typically occur when something goes wrong before or during the shipment.

A refund may be appropriate when:

  • The hauler fails to pick up the load

  • The shipment is damaged or incomplete

  • Delivery occurs in a different condition than agreed

  • The hauler cancels unexpectedly

How to Request a Refund

If you believe a refund is necessary, you can open a dispute directly from your shipment page. This temporarily freezes escrow, preventing funds from being released until the issue is reviewed.

🚨 Do not confirm delivery if there’s an issue — doing so releases escrow and completes the shipment.

What Happens During the Review

Once a dispute is opened, a Baleport support specialist reviews photos, messages, shipment logs, and any additional details you provide. They may contact both parties to gain clarity.

Possible outcomes include:

  • Full refund

  • Partial refund

  • Release of funds to the hauler

  • Request for additional documentation

Ultimately, the decision is based on documented evidence and platform policies.
