Why Parcel Insurance is Essential: 4 Key Reasons
Parcel insurance is a service that any person or company sending goods simply can't do without. If you send items as part of your business, you need to protect your consignments against all risks of loss, damage or theft.
In this article, we'll explain why parcel shipping insurance is necessary for you.
1. Shipment of a consecutive volume of parcels
Parcel loss is often a shipper's worst fear. Inevitably, the more parcels you send, the greater the risk of litigation: loss of the parcel, damaged goods delivered, contents of the parcel partially stolen or replaced... If you send a lot of parcels a day or a week, you're bound to have been confronted with these phenomena, and you know better than anyone just how long it usually takes to deal with them: from several weeks to several months. And at the end of the day, you're usually left with a lump sum. That's why at Claisy we've simplified the procedure and offer 100% compensation for the value of all your parcels shipped and subject to a transport dispute. Most of the time, you don't even have to contact the carrier for compensation.
2. Shipment of Unique or Irreplaceable Items
Some items are unique and cannot be replaced, such as works of art, family jewelry or prototypes. Parcel insurance can protect you against the loss of precious items. With such a purchase, you can be sure that your unique items are covered. So yes, a transport dispute is annoying and can damage your reputation: that's why at Claisy we offer you the opportunity to limit the costs to your customers.
3. Shipment of Fragile, High-Value or Easily Lost Items
Fragile, high-value items that can be lost quickly need extra protection when shipped. Parcel insurance offers protection for these types of items. If items are damaged or lost, you'll be compensated so you can replace or repair them without any loss.
4. International shipping: No need to handle international claims
In short, parcel insurance is a wise investment to protect your shipments and your peace of mind. Claims are handled as quickly and legally as possible, regardless of the regulations in force. This is another area where the insurer takes care of all the legal aspects of the process.
Conclusion
Whether you're a high-volume shipper or simply sending a unique and irreplaceable item, fragile and valuable or easy to lose, or shipping internationally, you should take out parcel insurance. It's worth remembering that the risks are real, but you can minimize them by choosing the best parcel insurance for your shipments.
