Shipping valuable items? Insurance can offer peace of mind. But before you click "purchase," there are some crucial things to remember about shipping insurance. Here's what to keep in mind:

  1. Read the terms and conditions
  2. Every carrier has its own insurance rules, like excluded items (think diamonds or antiques) or restricted destinations. Check the terms and conditions. Check carefully to ensure your shipment is covered.

  3. Check the packaging requirements
  4. There may be occurrences that a client is denied insurance claims for packaged goods that were not properly packaged. Use sturdy boxes, appropriate cushioning, and proper labeling.

  5. Mark your calendar for cut-off time for filing claims
  6. Missing the claim filing deadline can mean losing your right to be compensated for lost, misplaced, or damaged goods. Familiarize yourself with the insurance claims policy and act within the specified timeframe.

By keeping these three things in mind when looking to buy shipping insurance, you can send off your shipments with confidence. Choose the right protection, pack like a pro and make sure to take note of the insurance claim deadline.
