When using courier services, a shipping insurance allows you to safely send your parcels abroad. Just as you insure your house or car, insuring your parcel is definitely beneficial, regardless of the types of items you are sending. Eurosender offers you many options for cheap courier insurance, so you will worry less about the safety of your parcels.
Convenience & peace of mind – you want to make sure your shipment is protected against all risks;
Low rates – we offer some of the cheapest prices for shipping insurance;
Simple booking – you can add the preferred insurance option when you book the service.
We understand how valuable some items can be for our customers and we want to make sure that they avoid any risk of losses. This is why, at Eurosender, in order to guarantee the safety of every package shipped through our platform, we offer a free basic shipping insurance of up to 200 EUR.
The insurance will apply in the unlikely event of damage or loss of the shipment. Please note that the declared value of a package or the shipping insurance value is the maximum coverage. The amount to be reimbursed will be decided only after the selected logistics provider conducts an investigation and determines the admissibility of the claim and sets the value of the losses.
The insurance for the standard shipping service applies to every package. If your order consists of multiple packages, our basic insurance of up to 200€ will apply for every single parcel.
Eurosender offers different parcel insurance plans, thus you are able to purchase an additional insurance for your package. If your shipment is worth more or if you are sending valuable items, you can protect them by adding an extra insurance of up to 1.000€, 2.000€ or 5.000€.
The additional shipping insurance is provided by ERGO Versicherung AG, our insurance partner and one of the largest insurance companies in the EU. ERGO is part of Munich Re, a reinsurance company with over 50 billion EUR in yearly revenues.
When using Eurosender services, you are able to select from different insurance options.
Yes. In case your order contains several packages, once you choose additional shipping insurance, it will apply for every package in your order. Therefore, the extra shipping insurance does NOT apply per order, but per parcel.
Moreover, the same shipping insurance coverage will apply for each package. This means that if you choose a package insurance of up to 1.000€, the same insurance coverage will apply for all the packages within the same order.
The price for each shipping insurance will be added to the total amount of your order.
For now, selecting an additional shipping insurance is possible only during the ordering process. Therefore, you will NOT be able to add a package insurance after your order was paid and confirmed. If you wish to increase the insurance coverage of your parcel, please don’t forget to do it right at the time you are booking the shipping service.
Yes. If you are shipping a suitcase, the same shipping insurance plan is available. The courier company that will transport your shipment cover your suitcase with a value of up to 200 € per package by default. If you wish to increase the value of the shipping insurance, you can purchase an additional one during the ordering process.
The shipping insurance is applicable to any shipment that does not contain forbidden or restricted items. Moreover, please note that the additional shipping insurance does not substitute the appropriate packaging and it won’t apply to parcels that are not packaged in the recommended way.
Freight shipments are insured according to the provisions of the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR Convention).
Eurosender offers different shipping insurance options for freight shipment. Through our insurance partner, ERGO Versicherung AG, we can offer additional insurance of up to 1.000€, 2.000€, and 5.000€ per shipment at convenient prices.
We are also able to offer additional shipping insurance for more than 5.000€, scalable to your needs. In such case, please contact us and we will tell you what are the options.
If you are booking the pallet delivery service directly on our platform, you will be able to add additional insurance at the Safety step, in the ordering process.
When requesting an individual offer, please inform our team about the value of your shipment and the desired insurance coverage and we will tell you what are the options.
The insurance applies to the whole shipment. So, if you are shipping a pallet on which you stack multiple packages, the insurance applies to the entire shipment and NOT to each individual package.
If the package you receive has signs of deteriorations and damage, you will have to report the damage directly to the courier driver and together, file a damage report. The report has to be signed by the driver and left to you.
If your shipment is delivered damaged, we recommend signing with reservation any proof of delivery.
