Insurance And Compensation
Quick Answer: How does shipping insurance and compensation work?
Coverage is route-specific. The table below is the controlling reference for each line, destination, event and compensation rule. A parcel may be covered differently for delay, loss, damage or customs seizure, and not every shipment has the same protection. Confirm the applicable line and service before dispatch.
How to read the coverage table
- Identify the line and destination. Find the shipping line, service type and country or region in the first columns.
- Match the incident. Check the separate rule for parcel delay, parcel loss, parcel damage or customs seizure.
- Check evidence and exclusions. Keep tracking records, packaging photos, invoices and any customs notice; review the listed exceptions before assuming coverage.
- Submit a claim through support. Send the order number, tracking number, route, incident date and evidence so the carrier or customs status can be verified.
Important coverage boundaries
- There is no universal insurance amount. Compensation can depend on the line, destination, declared or actual value, shipping fee and the table conditions.
- Common exclusions in the table include incorrect recipient information, unpaid duties or taxes, prohibited goods, missed pickup or evidence that the carrier did not accept the claim.
- Customs seizure, delay and damage have different tests. Do not assume that coverage for one event applies to another.
- The table is operational guidance and can change with carrier or destination rules. For a current case, use Contact Us and keep the written response.

Insurance and compensation FAQ
Is every parcel automatically insured?
No. Protection varies by route, destination and selected service. Check the applicable row in the table or ask support before dispatch.
What evidence should I keep?
Keep the order number, tracking history, parcel and packaging photos, declared-value information, receipts and any carrier or customs notice.
Does insurance always cover customs seizure?
Only when the selected line and the table conditions cover that event. Prohibited goods, inaccurate declarations, unpaid duties or missing documents may be excluded.
Where do I start a claim?
Contact support with the order and tracking details, then follow the carrier or customs evidence process. The Platform Guarantee explains the general escalation path.
Sensitive goods and coverage
For batteries, liquids, powders, medicines, magnets, branded goods or fragile items, confirm route eligibility before relying on any insurance or compensation rule. A quote or insurance option does not override carrier or customs restrictions.
Start with the prohibited and restricted items guide, then read the Shipping Policy. For a case-specific route and coverage review, submit the product details through the quote request form before dispatch.
