Pointless "Insurance" After using PirateShip and Shipsurance for about a year, Shipsurance has decided to DROP our company for having the nerve to file a claim for a package that arrived damaged. They SEEMED like a better option in comparison with lower rates. Bear in mind, we've only had ONE prior claim, making this the second. (which I'm not expecting) I guess this company only works if you are lucky enough to never have missing or damaged packages. It is beyond pointless to buy insurance when the insurer will just drop you for using the service. We would recommend anyone not to pay for this sub-par service. EDIT: After talking to Shipsurance, they just reiterated that they will no longer support us. Their response is a joke.

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.

Refused to Pay for Lost Item Sold at item for $1,000.00. Buyer paid Paypal Goods and Services, invoice was generated. Shipped said item via UPS, with Shipinsurance bought from Pirateship.com. Item insured for $1,000.00. UPS lost item. Claim filed on November 1, 2021, all documentation provided. Claim was denied on November 5, 2021 claiming an exclusion relatd to "Sports cards being sent in for grading". Improper denial of claim. EDIT- They paid out on the claim after being contacted.

It brings peace of mind It brings peace of mind. I include insurance with all my orders, so if anything goes wrong, they handle the fight for me and ensure I receive the compensation.

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.
