GBShipsurance 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!!!

GBComplete sham Complete sham. Have shipped hundreds of packages over the years with minimal claims and get a letter advising they will no longer cover us. They will accept that payment all day long but come time to actually use the service and god forbid you have anymore than a handful over the years they will just cut your ability to insure your packages. If you can avoid this company stay far away. And below they say they handle every claim yeah that is until they decide to cut your business out of the ability to use insurance because the carriers can’t handle any packages with care. Maybe you should talk to them instead of causing issues for a small business. If I could give this company zero I would cause that’s what they are.

GBSold 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.

GBRefused 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.

GBSkip 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.
