ShipTime Insurance Coverage Has Increased

Protecting your shipments is an essential part of managing risk, especially as shipment values continue to rise. ShipTime has updated its insurance offering to provide higher coverage limits across freight, palletized shipments, and individual packages. These changes are designed to support businesses shipping higher value goods while maintaining the same straightforward insurance experience within the ShipTime platform.

 

What’s New With ShipTime Insurance

The latest update increases the maximum insured value across several shipment types, giving businesses more flexibility when shipping expensive or bulk goods.

 

Freight Insurance – Now Up to $100,000 Per Shipment

Businesses shipping LTL or larger freight shipments can now insure up to $100,000 per shipment. This increase supports higher value inventory, bulk restocking, and B2B freight movements where standard coverage limits may not be enough.

This update is especially useful for businesses shipping:

– High value wholesale orders

– Large replenishment shipments

– Cross-border freight with higher declared values

 

Pallet Coverage – Up to $10,000 Per Pallet

For palletized freight, insurance coverage has increased to $10,000 per pallet. This provides more precise protection when shipments are split across multiple pallets, helping businesses align coverage with how freight is actually shipped and handled.

 

Package Insurance – Up to $10,000 Per Box

For parcel shipments, insurance coverage has increased to $10,000 per box with select couriers*. This gives businesses added confidence when sending higher value packages through national courier networks.

Eligible couriers include:

– Purolator

– FedEx

– UPS

– Nationex

Save Up to 50% on Shipping Insurance

Alongside higher coverage limits, ShipTime Insurance continues to offer savings of up to 50% compared to traditional courier insurance options. This allows businesses to protect higher value shipments without significantly increasing shipping costs.

Instead of paying full courier insurance rates on every shipment, ShipTime members can access discounted insurance directly within the platform. Coverage is easy to add during label creation, pricing is transparent, and claims can be submitted online for faster resolution.

For businesses shipping valuable inventory, this means:

– Lower insurance costs per shipment

– Better protection without eroding margins

– One insurance solution across freight, pallets, and parcels

 

Combined with increased coverage limits, ShipTime Insurance gives businesses a practical way to manage risk while keeping shipping costs under control.

Proof of Delivery Updates for Insured Shipments

ShipTime has also enhanced visibility for shipments by improving access to proof of delivery details directly in the platform. When supported by the courier, proof of delivery will now be available directly within the History & Tracking section of the ShipTime platform.

Depending on the courier and service level, proof of delivery may include:

– A delivery photo, or

– A recipient signature

Couriers provide one form of proof of delivery, not both, based on their capabilities and delivery method. This information is automatically attached to the shipment record once available, helping businesses confirm delivery and support insurance documentation when needed.

A Smarter Way to Protect Your Shipments

As shipment values grow, insurance should scale with your business. This coverage increase ensures ShipTime members can insure more, ship with confidence, and protect their goods across freight, pallets, and parcels without added complexity.

 

*Package insurance up to $10,000 per box is available with select couriers only, including Purolator, FedEx, Nationex, and UPS. Coverage availability may vary by service and shipment details.
