Shipping insurance is coverage offered by major carriers that protects against possible loss or damage to a specific shipment. This insurance covers damaged, stolen, or lost packages. To receive coverage for a package that doesn’t arrive as expected, you need to file an insurance claim based on the declared value of the items. Once you go through the claims process and the carrier verifies the loss, you’ll be reimbursed for your claim.
Insurance for shipping almost always comes from the carriers themselves, though there are third-party options as well. It’s most common to use a third-party insurance company if you’re shipping a high-value item or moving freight that needs coverage beyond the carriers’ coverage limits.
Shipping Insurance provides you with discounted shipping insurance coverage for parcels and freight. As an active shipper, you face an increased amount of liability with the increase in your shipments. The carriers offer their own form of declared value coverage, but why pay their inordinate fees and deal with their tiresome claims process?
Our Shipping insurance package will lower your coverage costs, speed up the claims process, integrate with your current shipping system, and give you one point of contact for all your carrier shipments.
High-volume shippers, like Romchelner Global Shipping, may be able to negotiate favorable shipping insurance rates. When you work with an order fulfillment company like US, you expand your options to make insurance work for your business, not against it.
Once we issue you a coverage certificate and you are apprised of the coverage rules and limits, you are ready to go. If you declared a value with the shipping carriers in the past, STOP! You will now be sending us your shipment details and you can start benefiting immediately.
