Can I insure my packages?

Yes, you can insure your packages.  There are a few different options to insure packages and it depends on the carrier you use, the class of mail and how much you want to insure the packages for.

Typically insurance covers lost and damaged shipments, and if something happens to your package you will need to file a claim with the appropriate carrier or insurance company.  Most carriers like USPS (priority mail), UPS, and Fedex offer insurance up to $100 free of charge. If your items are more valuable than $100 you can always add additional insurance with a third party insurance provider.

Some services like USPS first class mail and international first class mail do not come with insurance. Insurance for these services can be purchased through a third party provider.  Even if you do not have insurance for these services you may be able to reclaim the postage funds if the package was not delivered.

Insurance does not cover items that are delivered than stolen.  Insurance will only cover lost or damaged items by the carrier.  To claim insurance you will need to submit a claim with the carrier and provide evidence that the items were lost or damaged.  This can be time consuming and can sometimes be hard to prove or demonstrate.  If you do receive a complaint from a client ask them to provide pictures of all angles of the packaging and as much information as possible.
