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.

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.

Shipsurance dropped me! Shipsurance paid me through Pirate Ship for one (1) claim, for a broken item (by UPS), and now has sent me a letter dropping me. According to their letter, I’m no longer able to insure anything through Shipsurance on Pirate Ship or anywhere else. What is the purpose of having insurance? ONE CLAIM???? I’m so disappointed! I’ve had a pirate ship account for a couple of years now. Sad!!!

Frustrating company to deal with Frustrating company to deal with. Often they ask for the very same information that has already been provided. Sometimes the accept the document we provided, other times they say they need a different document. Not sure why the same document is OK in some instances but not in others. Delays in their responses to us cause delays in processing claims. These delays frustrate our customers. Emails come without a name from the person emailing, meaning we have no idea who is involved with our communications. Tons of room for improvement.

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.
