Shipping high-value items is an important task — but are you fully covered if the unexpected happens? Many shippers assume carrier liability shipping insurance is enough, but its limitations can leave gaps in protection. With the uShip Protection Plan and Property Damage Add-On, you can take control of your shipment’s security and protect what matters most.
Why Carrier Liability Shipping Insurance Isn’t Enough
Standard carrier liability only covers a portion of the shipment’s value, leaving shippers to handle the difference in the event of damage or loss. This limitation can lead to financial stress and uncertainty.
In fact, according to the Whitehall Insurance Agency, “carrier’s liability isn’t really an insurance policy you should count on.” There are too many caveats and loopholes that could spell problems should a shipper need the coverage.
For example:
Coverage is often based on weight, not actual value.
Many exclusions exist for unforeseen events like severe weather or theft, to name a couple.
Liability often excludes damages caused by mishandling during loading or unloading.
Coverage limits may not account for fragile or high-value items like antiques or electronics.
This highlights the importance of enhancing protection beyond the basics.
The uShip Protection Plan: All-Risk Protection
The uShip Protection Plan bridges the gap left by carrier liability. It provides all-risk protection, ensuring protection against a wide range of potential incidents.
What makes the uShip Protection Plan unique?
Comprehensive Protection: Protects against theft, accidental damage, and other risks.
Affordable Pricing: Get peace of mind without breaking the bank.
Easy Case Submission: Submit a case online with prompt support from uShip’s dedicated team.
Property Damage Protection Add-On: Securing Pickup and Delivery Locations
Shipments often involve more than just the items in transit — your property can also be at risk. The uShip Property Damage Protection Add-On extends coverage to safeguard pickup and delivery locations.
Key benefits include:
Reimbursement up to $10,000 for property damage caused during pickup or delivery.
Quick Case Resolution: A straightforward process with simple documentation, such as before-and-after photos and receipts.
Added Peace of Mind: Focus on your shipment, knowing your property is protected.
For instance, imagine a large shipment requiring movers to navigate tight hallways. If your walls or floors are damaged during the process, the Property Damage Add-On ensures you’re not left paying out of pocket. Carrier liability coverage doesn’t often cover these sorts of things.
