Lost, Damaged, or Stolen — ShipKasa Has It Covered With Shipsurance

If you ship enough orders, you already know this. Most packages arrive exactly as expected. But every now and then — something slips: a package goes missing, a box arrives damaged, or, worse, it gets delivered… and disappears. And suddenly, what was a smooth order becomes a customer support issue, a refund, and a hit to your margins. The problem isn’t shipping. It’s what happens when things go wrong. Most businesses don’t think about insurance until they need it. And when they do, it’s usually too late! Carriers offer limited coverage, claims take time, and reimbursements often don’t reflect the actual value of the order. So you end up absorbing the loss — not just financially, but in customer trust.

What is Shipsurance

Shipsurance is a leading provider of shipping insurance for e-commerce businesses. Unlike carrier-offered declared value coverage — which is limited, slow, and based on the item's depreciated value — Shipsurance provides all-risk coverage for the full declared value of every shipment, including the cost of goods and shipping.

It covers the three most common and most costly shipping risks every e-commerce operator faces:

• Packages lost in transit
• Damage during shipping
• Theft after delivery

What Shipsurance Covers

1. Coverage Across All Major Carriers

ShipSurance works with the carriers your business already uses — DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS. No switching, no workarounds.

2. Full Declared Value — Not Depreciated Carrier Limits

This is the critical difference between ShipSurance and standard carrier liability. When a carrier damages or loses a package, most carriers cover only a small portion of its value — often capped at $100 and based on depreciated cost. ShipSurance, on the other hand, covers what actually matters:

• The full declared value of your shipment
• The cost of goods and shipping
• The true order value — not a reduced carrier estimate

3. Protection Against Every Common Shipping Risk

Shipsurance covers the full spectrum of delivery failures that e-commerce businesses face daily:

• Packages lost in transit — vanished in the carrier network with no delivery confirmation
• Damage during shipping — items broken, crushed, or compromised in handling
• Theft after delivery — including porch piracy, one of the fastest-growing e-commerce risks

4. Fast, paperless claims resolved in days, not months

Filing a carrier claim is often one of the most frustrating parts of e-commerce operations. It usually means paperwork, back-and-forth calls, long wait times — and in many cases, only partial reimbursement. Shipsurance through ShipKasa takes a different approach. Claims are submitted digitally, with documentation uploaded directly online. Most are processed within a few business days — not weeks or months. And you can track the entire process in real time, all in one place.

5. Simple Transparent Insurance Rates

Shipsurance pricing is based on the value of each shipment — so you only pay for what you ship. No flat fees. No overpaying. No guesswork. Each shipment is covered for its full declared value.

Example: 

A $500 domestic order costs about $5 to insure.
A $1,000 international order costs about $15.

Coverage goes up to $2,500 per package — enough for most e-commerce orders.

How it works: 3 Simple Steps

Shipsurance integrates seamlessly inside ShipKasa, therefore adding insurance to a shipment takes seconds — not steps. Here is all it takes:

• Step 1 - Enter Insured Value: Input the declared value of your shipment during label creation.
• Step 2 - Cost Calculated Automatically: ShipKasa instantly calculates your insurance cost based on the declared value.
• Step 3 - Add Insurance & Print Label: Add protection in one click — your label and insurance are confirmed simultaneously.

That is it. No separate logins. No third-party portals. No manual policy management. Insurance is added at the label level — which means every shipment can be protected before it ever leaves your warehouse.

Smarter Shipping Means Protected Shipping

Every package you ship represents a promise to your customer. A promise that their order will arrive on time, intact, and in perfect condition. ShipKasa helps you keep that promise — and Shipsurance makes sure that when the unexpected happens, you are not the one absorbing the cost. With ShipSurance built directly into ShipKasa, shipping insurance stops being an afterthought and becomes a natural, effortless part of every label you print. Comprehensive coverage.
