How does it work?

THIS PROTECTS YOUR PARCELS SO YOU CAN SHIP SAFELY FROM ANYWHERE TO ANYWHERE.

 

XCover.com’s Total Shipping Protection is being sold by us through the ShipStation platform. It includes protection for lost, stolen or damaged parcels.

The coverage amount is equal to your order value (i.e. sale price) and starts when parcels leave their originating address. The rate to protect this parcel is 1.10% of the coverage amount if you are shipping domestically, or 1.50% if shipping internationally.

 

The protection can be canceled anytime before the parcel leaves the originating address.

Summary of your protection

You’re covered if...

  • Your parcels are lost, stolen or damaged during transit.

If parcels are lost, stolen or damaged, we’ll also pay costs towards...

  • “Return shipping”. These are the fees paid to couriers to have damaged parcels returned to you.

  • “Re-shipping” of replacement parcels. These costs are paid when the new delivery is arranged through ShipStation.

These shipping costs are paid in addition to your coverage amount and exclude duties and taxes. There is no “excess” or “deductible” to pay.

You're not covered...

  • For any perishable items, except wine. Perishables include but are not limited to food, pharmaceuticals, plant matter or chemicals.

  • For any precious metals and stones, cash, bullion, securities or documents.

  • For claims resulting from illegality (such as shipping contraband goods).

How claims work

Start your claim

If your parcel is damaged, lost or stolen, and either the courier, intended recipient or ShipStation has declared it damaged, lost or stolen, there’s a link for claim submission in your ShipStation dashboard.

Supporting documents

We may request supporting documents such as proof of value. If required documents are not provided to us the claim may be rejected or the status changed to “Pending”.

Claim payments

Our claims team aims to complete 95% of claims within 3 days of claim lodgement. Once approved, we’ll send you an email and text message with a link to enter your bank details for payment.

Cancelation and refunds

You can cancel this product prior to the parcel leaving the originating address for a full refund from ShipStation.

Refunds will not be available once the parcel leaves the originating address.

Policy Wording

About Your Cover

We are offering XCover.com’s Parcel Protect to ShipStation users. It provides cover when goods are lost, stolen or damaged during transit. The cover starts when parcel(s) leave their originating address and ends when they are received by the intended recipient at the delivery address.

The coverage amount is equal to the total insured value that has been provided to ShipStation.

If your goods are lost or stolen during transit, we’ll reimburse you up to the coverage amount shown on your certificate.

  • Products are damaged.

If goods are damaged during transit, we’ll reimburse the repair costs up to the coverage amount shown on your certificate.

  • Costs towards "return shipping" damaged parcels.

  • Costs towards "re-shipping" stolen, lost or damaged parcels.

Sanctions:

We shall not provide cover and shall not be liable to pay any claim or provide any benefit hereunder to the extent that the provision of such cover, payment of such claim or provision of such benefit would expose that insurer to any sanction, prohibition or restriction under United Nations resolutions or the trade or economic sanctions, laws or regulations of the European Union, United Kingdom or the United States of America.
