A common misconception is that small package shipments are automatically insured by the carrier through the carrier’s limits of liability. But if you think you’re fully covered for loss or damage, think again. The truth is, carrier limits of liability is NOT insurance and should not be counted on to protect the full value of your shipment – which is why Unishippers recommends coverage through UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc.

FULL VALUE REPAYMENTCarrier liability for loss or damage has limits, regardless of the actual value of the shipment. But with shipment insurance, your small packages are protected against loss and damage up to the retail value of the goods.

Shipment insurance is available for items not traditionally covered by the carrier’s liability, including gift cards, online tickets, event tickets, jewelry and other high-value items that are typically not covered.

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE

Under carrier liability, weather and disaster-related loss or damage is typically exempt from reimbursement. Insurance won’t cover service guarantee failures but can reimburse in the event of weather-related damage or loss and spoilage of perishables due to delays.

DISASTER PROTECTION

Carrier limits of liability offers no official deadline for settling claims. Some claims can take months before anything is resolved. With insurance protection, your claim will be processed quickly and efficiently.
