Is there any data that shows using shipping insurance is smart for my business?
Yes!

• 60% of SMBs in 2020 experienced an increase in lost, damaged, or missing shipments*
• Over half of all consumers find these mishaps “frustrating” or “very frustrating” which negatively impact merchants*
• That’s why over 94% of merchants are willing to pay 1% for shipping insurance to help them provide better post purchase service*

E-commerce is booming, and companies of all size are positioning to grab their piece of the market. To be successful, merchants need to ensure they deliver a seamless shipping experience despite the fact that problems can – and will – occur. When they do, merchants need to ensure that customers are taken care of quickly. Your businesses depend on it. Insurance can level the playing field by helping merchants deliver best-in-class shipping experiences that meet the expectations being set by market leaders, both easily and affordably. *Unless otherwise noted, all statistics used herein are derived from or based on information contained in the 2021 Post-Shipment Experience Study, which is a compilation of two independent studies conducted by Evalueserve and Dynata in March and April, 2021, respectively, on behalf of UPS Capital.

What is shipping insurance?

Shipping insurance protects your shipments against losses like damages, porch-piracy, and lost items. With shipping insurance, your business can be reimbursed in case of loss, mitigating shipping risk.

While carriers only offer declared value coverage, the bare minimum required by law, shipping insurance providers cover additional expenses like expedited reshipment and instances like concealed damages. InsureShield shipping insurance also has added benefits like multi-carrier coverage and fast claims payment.

What is the difference between carrier liability and InsureShield shipping insurance?

The short answer, it’s a night and day difference.

Carrier liability is the standard liability offered by the carrier for a shipment, in the event of loss or damage (e.g. up to $100 for small package, or $25/lb. for LTL). Excess liability is excess-value coverage (e.g. more than the carrier’s standard liability), up to the cost of the shipment.

Carrier liability is based on small-print terms and a web of governing statutes, some of which date to the 1930’s. At their core, all the statutes allow carriers to limit their exposure and exempt a variety of situations from their liability.

Here are the key points of differentiation between carrier liability, excess liability and InsureShield shipping insurance offered through UPS Capital.
