Some retailers and credit cards provide shipping protection automatically, so check what coverage you already have before purchasing additional protection.
Shipping insurance typically costs 1-3% of your item's declared value, with minimum fees around $1-5. Rates vary by shipping carrier, item type, and destination risk factors. Compare insurance costs against potential total loss and standard carrier liability limits (often just $100-500). Before purchasing additional coverage, check whether your credit card, retailer, or existing insurance policies already provide shipping protection - you might already be covered.SureBright's shipping insurance offers comprehensive coverage at the most affordable prices.
Shipping insurance claim handling depends on who purchased the coverage. If the retailer bought shipping insurance, they typically handle claims on your behalf. If you purchased coverage directly, file claims with the insurance provider. Standard carrier liability claims go through the shipping company. With SureBright, customers buy shipping insurance through merchant websites. And any claims can be made directly through SureBright's customer support channels, whose information is shared instantly with the customer on the insurance purchase.
