Worried about lost or damaged parcels? Shippit’s Transit Protection makes it easy and affordable to protect your deliveries against loss or damage when things don’t go to plan.
Existing cover for damaged or lost goods provided by carriers 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 is a warranty against shipments being lost or damaged in transit and can be activated for all deliveries made on Shippit, or on a per-carrier basis.
