Navigating Shipping Claims

Discover the secrets to streamlining your business and learn the keys to navigating a seamless and fast shipping claims experience with InsureShield® Shipping Protection.

In a world where packages are prone to loss, damage, or theft, having reliable shipping coverage is the key to protecting your hard-earned dollars. Too often, merchants rely solely on carrier liability to cover lost or damaged shipments, which can often lead to long wait times for reimbursement and unpaid claims. Luckily, coverage with an InsureShield shipping policy can mean the end to all your claims frustrations.

When it comes to filing insurance claims, staying informed is crucial to your peace of mind. From not knowing how to file a claim correctly, to being unaware of what’s actually covered in your policy, the claims experience can quickly turn into a nightmare. But, not all claims processes are created equal. Read on below to see how InsureShield customers take advantage of our unrivaled, fast online claims filing process and get their claims paid in days, not weeks.
