Skip the UPS Claims Process, Shipsurance Is Better We ship fairly expensive hand made furniture and home accessories. Over the last 10 years, UPS has never honored a damage claim on any of our shipments, they've always found some reason to deny it. I've always been skeptical of third party insurance in general, and after our experience with UPS, skeptical of shipping insurance in particular. But after a rash of damaged UPS shipments this year, we started buying the additional Shipsurance insurance on our Shopify shipments. A couple weeks ago, UPS did their normal trick of drop kicking a carton out the back of an airplane, completely destroying its contents. We had Shipsurance on this one, filed a claim, and had a payment for the full agreed value in less than a week. I will never ship another high value package without using Shipsurance.

Shipsurance worked great for me. I recently had to file two claims with Shipsurance. In both instances, I received a quick reply with a list of the required documents. Every time I attached new documents, I was notified that the claim was updated. In one case, I received a partial refund, and in the second, I received the full coverage price for the damaged item. Both claims were completed and paid in about two weeks. All my correspondence with them was done by email. I was happy with the outcome and will use them again.

Grateful for Shipsurance I’ve come to greatly appreciate Shipsurance. Easy to make a claim and share with the customer to confirm, and payments come quickly with just a few easy-to-find attachments and no back and forth hassles.

Everything that is wrong with insurance companies They epitomize everything that is wrong with insurance companies. They are such a gross and unethical company and will find any tiny loophole to weasel out of paying a claim. For example, if a customer discards some foam packing material after unboxing and then notices damage later on, that is deemed to be grounds for closure of the claim. This is after you spend days providing more information to them using their archaic web portal. Furthermore, you have no chance to appeal or resolve it, their decisions are final.

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.
