Mail-In Program
The DPI Mail-In Program provides a tremendous service to the insurance industry.
Overview
DPI will mail you an Adjuster’s Kit at no charge. The Adjuster’s Kit contains: five pre-addressed, pre-paid UPS labels, a variety of shipping containers, literature describing our services, and five blank claim forms requesting such information as the name and address of the insured, the type of product to be investigated, and general information about the claim. Claim forms and the documentation from the adjuster’s kit can be downloaded here.
The following is a partial list of some of the types of products you can mail to DPI using the Adjuster’s Kit. For larger items such as appliances, water heaters, agricultural machinery, etc. you will need to arrange your own shipping containers or contact DPI for shipping arrangements. We have corporate contracts with several national and international freight carriers. Check out DPI’s On-Site Program for other alternatives for picking up your evidence.
