In the air cargo and freight business lost package caused by mishandling (sometimes called Loss of Visibility) traditionally receive a discount or refund of shipping costs. There's nothing illegal about someone filing a dispute with the CC company. Nor is there any evidence that DL pays or charges higher fees because of it.
