Sold an item via Etsy Sold an item via Etsy. They recommended USPS and Shipsurance. I buy their shipping insurance to cover the $2100.00 value. I buy signature required from USPS. The recipient never receives the goods and files a claim, Etsy takes $2000.00 out of MY bank account and gives it right away to the buyer. USPS says the parcel was signed for and delivered. The buyer claims it was not delivered. Shipsurance denies my claim. USPS denies my claim. You can't do honest business with Shipsurance or Etsy. No help. Cold Shoulder. They obscure the truth and their exemptions in the legalese & fine print. Best to avoid them. They represent the worst in shipping insurance.

Don't waste your Money Beware their damage claim policies are very strict and they act concerned when there is a problem. The bottom line is they're not going to help you out if a customer does not follow the rules which is totally out of the shippers hands. On top of that they said to contact when there was a problem and they dropped the phone call three times and then finally went to voice mail.

We've used Shipsurance for several… We've used Shipsurance for several years (since we started with Shipstation. Filing claims is a smooth and very quick process. We insure all our international orders and the small fee they charge gives us peace of mind that it will be covered if lost. Much more reliable than USPS insurance. Highly recommended.

Absolutely useless My small business has submitted multiple shipsurance claims and none of them have been paid out. We and our customers jump through every required hoop and get no response. Tremendous waste of time for us and our customers that just costs us money. This service is useless.
