When a carrier loses a shipment in transit, you're covered for the full declared item value — up to $1,000 per package. No chasing the carrier, no lengthy disputes. File once in your dashboard and we handle the rest.
If a package arrives damaged and the contents are unusable, you're covered for the repair or replacement cost — up to the declared item value. Just upload a photo in the claim form and we take it from there.
Carrier insurance means calling their support line, navigating their claim portal, and following up repeatedly. With Protect, you file once in your ShipSlip dashboard and we handle everything — including follow-ups with the carrier — until you get paid.
Protect is straightforward, and that includes being upfront about what isn't covered. No hidden surprises when you file a claim.
Unsure if your item qualifies? Contact our team before you ship, we'd rather help you decide upfront than deal with a declined claim later.
