Shipping Insurance

Why should I purchase shipping insurance?

Shipping insurance protects senders when parcels are lost, stolen or damaged in transit. Typically, the shipping carrier’s maximum liability for uninsured package(s) is $100.00 CAD. When you ship items valued higher than $100.00 CAD, it’s important to consider purchasing additional insurance to guarantee you receive the full reimbursement should you need to make a claim. Shipping insurance can be expensive, which is why FlagShip offers our own in-house insurance at the best rates in the industry. Give yourself the peace of mind that if anything happens to your shipment, you are covered without paying more than you need to.
