If you're worried about lost or damaged parcels, you can use Shippit’s Transit Protection for easy and affordable protection against loss or damage.
Cover provided by carriers for damaged or lost goods can be fragmented, expensive, and time-consuming, with large excesses, long claim periods and limited coverage only for the cost price of goods. To make protecting your parcels easier and more affordable, Transit Protection protects your shipments against being lost or damaged in transit and can be activated for all deliveries made on Shippit, or on a per-carrier basis.
This article contains information about the benefits of Transit Protection. For more information about pricing and maximum coverage, see the Transit Protection pricing article.
Benefits of Shippit's Transit Protection
Transit Protection covers you for the full retail price, not the wholesale or cost price. This means your goods are protected against loss or damage up to a maximum value. With no fees to file a claim, a streamlined claims process, and the ability to turn the service on yourself from your Shippit account, Transit Protection can save you time and money.
Low-cost pricing means you have no excess fees, and competitive low-cost premiums charged per delivery. For more information on pricing for your region, see the Transit Protection pricing article.
Shippit Transit Protection has high coverage amounts. Coverage is for the full retail value of the goods, including the cost of shipping. For more information on maximum coverage for your region, see the Transit Protection pricing article.
Transit Protection is streamlined and user-friendly. Get a consolidated view of your cover, and activate, view, and edit your coverage within your Shippit account.
