All You Need to Know About Shipping Insurance

In the last two years, 75% of shippers experienced lost or damaged packages, costing up to 17 times more and leaving a bad impression on 41% of customers. As an experienced e-commerce business, you’ve likely dealt with frustrating hours addressing carrier claims.

This situation is where an insurance for B2C shipments comes into play. This article will delve into the intricacies of B2C shipping insurance.

What is Shipping Insurance?

Shipping insurance safeguards eCommerce businesses should a package suffer damage, theft, loss, or mishandling during its journey to the customer. It can be obtained through leading shipping companies or third-party suppliers, with the cost of coverage contingent on the provider and the declared value of your shipment.

Regardless of the source, having insurance in place means your business may qualify for compensation in the event of transit-related issues, a precious asset when shipping high-value items.

What You Need to Get a Shipping Insurance?

To obtain an insurance for your B2C shipments, you typically need to provide the following required documents:

  • Bill Of Lading/ Lorry Receipt/ Airway Bill: Choose the appropriate document based on your chosen mode of transportation: bill of lading for sea shipments, lorry receipt for road transport, and airway bill for air cargo.
  • Packing List: This list includes all the transported items and their detailed nature and condition information. This information helps the insurer assess insurability.
  • Invoice: Invoices contain package details and vital registration information for financial and reputation assessments. Once your application is approved, you will receive an insurance policy, which is essential when filing a claim and outlines the agreed-upon terms and conditions.
