The exact requirements vary, but commonly useful documents include:
- proof of value, such as an invoice or receipt
- proof of payment where requested
- serial number or item identifier
- repair estimate for damaged goods
- photographs of the item, inner packaging, and outer carton
- shipper’s copy of the air waybill or shipping record
- signed statements or inspection records when requested
Keep damaged packaging until FedEx or the seller says it is no longer needed.
