Automatic Protection

UPS®, FedEx®, and DHL® shipments are automatically protected for up to $300.

Comprehensive Protection

You may select protection in excess of $300 by paying an additional

fee. The protection includes UPS®, FedEx®, and DHL® shipments. If additional protection is selected and paid for, you may be eligible for reimbursement up to the value of your parcel, plus freight, for porch-pirated theft, loss, and damage.

Domestic and International Protection

InsureShield® protects both domestic and international shipments with US origins.

Hassle-Free Claims

The PostNet location you use to ship your package will assist with the UPS Capital claims process.

Optional Additional Protection

InsureShield® Shipping Protection provides you with superior protection compared to the standard carrier liability.

  • Unlike carrier liability, InsureShield® protection gives shippers comprehensive financial protection in the event of shipping loss, damage, or porch-pirated theft.
  • With InsureShield® shipping protection, shippers do not have to prove the transportation carrier was at fault for the loss.
  • Claims are typically paid in a matter of days, not weeks.
