Max - This is definitely not your normal experience as you have many successfully paid claims. Please call our office to discuss.

Do not bother buying this through Shipping Easy, they don't follow their own policies and create all these excuses, 40 days past on two claims and they refuse to refund. Also don't believe these so called "positive reviews" likely fabricated.

News flash you have a low review rating so it’s not just me complaining, some of these reviews are identical to my experience. I talked to your rep and she has neither had a manager call me like I asked and has yet to show me where is writing and that has my agreeing to this “new requirement”. Looks like a civil court filing and a judge making you refund me is how it’s going to go.

Armando - We are happy to look into this for you. We cannot find any claims in the system under your name. If you can provide the details we can research for you. This does not sound right as claims are not "dragged out" unless we are awaiting documentation.

DO NOT USE!!

Completely ridiculous. They denied claim, saying the packing tape "alludes to the contents of the box" Really? We have a 3 letter company name, like ABC or RHW, no pictures of the product on the box, no words about automotive or racing parts. And this rule is specifically about things that tempt thieves, however the box was not stolen, it was smashed up by UPS, and still shipsurance denies our claim! Utter garbage.

Claims are super easy

Claims are super easy, I'm suing Shipstation which integrates seamlessly with Shipsurance, all I have to do I go to my "Shipments" tab, click on the insurance link, and the form is filled up. I've made a few claims over the year, and they have always come through, I recommend them 100%

We've used Shipsurance for several years (since we started with Shipstation. Filing claims is a smooth and very quick process. We insure all our international orders and the small fee they charge gives us peace of mind that it will be covered if lost.
Much more reliable than USPS insurance. Highly recommended.

Easy

As a business owner, I never depend upon shipper insurance offerings for my packages. I use ShipSurance because they are easy to deal with, with any claim. I have never experienced any issues when needing to recover loss of packages. The funds are recouped quickly and the staff are friendly and fast.

False Payments

Horrible Experience. My claim literally said “"Processed & Paid". However, it was false and they didn’t pay.

John Goldman - If you claim shows "Processed & Paid" it was paid. Please contact your shipping platform for details.

Terrible

Terrible. They use every trick in the book to try to deny your claims. Their terms are filled with exceptions where they will pay you nothing if you don't follow their specific rules. For example you can't ship a package that has logos on it at all - ridiculous. Basically a scam company. Avoid at all costs.

They will not pay out

Bought insurance with them through Pirate Ship.

They are non-responsive despite sending all paperwork they require.

Don't use logo tape or boxes or you'll lose coverage

Don't dare put anything on your box or envelope that has a company logo on it or they'll turn your claim down. Completely ridiculous saying that logo tape "alludes to the contents of the package" and therefore the claim is turned down. Such crap. UPS damaged the box and product plain and simple. Ship your stuff in plain boxes and envelopes if you want any chance of being covered by this insurance.
