When should you consider a third party parcel insurance?

Are you wondering when to take out parcel insurance? Are you sending a valuable parcel and wondering if you can benefit from our insurance? Here are some clarifications!

When you ship a parcel, a third party shipping insurance is not mandatory. If you do not purchase the insurance, you’ll probably receive a basic $20 compensation from the carrier or from the shipping broker. That’s why it is strongly recommended that you take out insurance if your items are worth more than $100.

When taking out a parcel insurance, you can choose to purchase the insurance offered by your carrier / broker and take the risk of paying very high fees for insurance which may in the end not even cover the items you wanted to insure. Using Secursus gives you the peace of mind of sending an expensive item.

What’s a parcel insurance?

Parcel insurance is used to insure goods in transit up to their final retail value. If your items end up being stolen, lost or damaged during transit, you’ll receive a full compensation, without any deductible.

What happens if my shipment is not insured?

Be aware that when you send a parcel internationally and it gets lost, stolen or damaged, the carrier's liability is limited. This means that you will only be partially reimbursed, even if you can demonstrate that the carrier is liable.

When a carrier accepts responsibility, the compensation is usually very low if you have not purchased the parcel insurance. You could expect $20 to $50 from the carrier at the very best.

Delighted

Used this company for insurance on a shipment coming from China on the offchance of any issues. Very glad I did - the claim was handled extremely well - they took ownership and the claim was settled within a reasonable timeframe. Delighted.

Better coverage / better price

The goods I send are not covered by the traditional insurances. For me, Secursus is the only way to ship safely. And even if the goods you’re sending are covered (or you think they are), Secursus is always a better solution since it’s less expensive !

Shipping essential

I used Secursus insurance cover for several deliveries mainly International (the insurance provided by the shipping company would actually not cover the type of items I sold). The subscription is really easy and fast, the cost is attractive and the delivery tips are very useful. I strongly recommend if you want to get your items insured during shipping!

Frequently asked questions

What’s the real benefit to use secursus parcel insurance?

Secursus insures your shipments instantly, at a lower rate than carriers or shipping agents. There is no need to request a quote as the price is the same for everyone who uses our service, just use our insurance calculator and see how much it will cost you to insure your valuable goods during transit.

How to calculate the cost of our parcel insurance?

To find out the pricing of our carrier insurance, all you have to do is enter the value of the shipment you want to insure at the top of the page. Our calculator instantly displays the price of the insurance.

Our site tells you how much to pay when you fill in the value of your merchandise. The cost of our insurance does not vary depending on whether you send 1, 10 or 50 parcels. Also, the cost of the parcel insurance remains the same, whether you send your parcels localy or internationally.

Do i necessarily have to choose a carrier that offers signed-for deliveries?

Yes, the delivery of the parcel with signature is mandatory because without a signature, we have no proof that a parcel has been delivered or not. This is a necessary condition for sending valuable parcels. Just make sure you choose the right shipping method when booking your shipment online.

Lost, stolen or damaged package? How does Secursus handle claims?

We know that losing a package or receiving a damaged package is a significant source of stress, which is why our claim procedure has been greatly simplified. Our claim platform enables you to submit the few necessary documents and chat with one of our agents. Once the documents submitted, we’ll process them within 7 working days and pay out your claim straight away.

How to send fragile items and still be fully covered by Secursus?

Secursus covers most fragile items but they must be well packaged to withstand normal handling in transit. You may not know it, but the parcels travel on automatic belts and fall into a huge box where many parcels are stacked on top of each other. You need to make sure that your items can withstand a drop from one meter without being broken. Otherwise, it just means that your items cannot be shipped with a regular carrier but with a "white glove" carrier who knows how to handle fragile goods.

Which scenarios are covered by secursus insurance? Are there excluded scenarios?

The insurance covers the liability of the carrier including:

• Loss of shipment
• Damage of the shipped items
• Theft occurred within the carrier's network

The insurance does not cover:

• Theft that occurs before shipment, or after the shipment being delivered
• Badly packaged items
• Cosmetic damage such as scratches, scuffs, deformations

What is the exact process to insure my shipment?

First, you must sign up on our website, enter your personal information, and click on the insurance button. Then, fill out the quick insurance form and add your credit card details.

Before taking out the insurance, you need to read and accept the terms and conditions of the coverage, and we highly recommend that you also check our shipping instructions. Once you purchase the insurance, you’ll receive a confirmation email.

Does Secursus provide tailormade coverage and APIs for large volumes?

Yes! We can create a custom contract if you need coverage other than the one offered here. If you send a lot of packages, you’ll probably be interested in our automation technologies, which allow you to insure your shipments seamlessly.
