While major shipping carriers strive for reliability, the vast scale of their networks and the sheer shipping volume make human error inevitable – and costly. When shipments pass through too many hands, the risk of delayed, damaged, or lost packages increases dramatically.
At UNIVAL Logistics, we reduce those risks by offering cost-effective, insured shipping for your most valuable items. Our shipping insurance coverage is designed to protect your high-value goods from the unexpected, ensuring your shipping outcomes are as secure and predictable as possible.
Secure Your Packages with Flexible Insured Shipping
The insurance industry is massive. The shipping industry is even bigger. That means there’s a confusing maze of options that often leave individuals and businesses guessing about real protection. At UNIVAL Logistics, we cut through the noise and deliver secure, end-to-end logistics solutions backed by industry-leading parcel insurance.
Every shipment you send is protected with precision coverage designed around your actual risks, not cookie-cutter policies. When your reputation, revenue, and customer trust ride on safe delivery, “good enough” isn’t an option. We combine world-class logistics expertise with custom insurance solutions that safeguard every package, every time.

Shipping With Insurance & Peace of Mind through UNIVAL Logistics: How It Works
Not all packages are created equal. While every shipment deserves care, high-value shipments require additional monitoring and insurance coverage that covers the actual value of the goods. Many providers require you to provide the declared value of your package, without offering flexibility.
At UNIVAL, our insurance policies are industry-specific, allowing you to choose the optimal solution for your unique needs and get instant coverage at full insurance value. Because we specialize in both domestic and international shipping insurance, we know how to minimize risks in transit – giving you peace of mind that your cargo is in safe hands en route, no matter where it's headed.

Small yet high-risk shipments, like electronics, jewellery, or medical equipment, can often be overlooked by carriers or mistaken for non-valuable. But even the smallest oversight can cause thousands in losses. That’s why our insured shipping services and third-party insurance plans are ideal for high-value goods of any size.
Shipping with Insurance for Your Peace of Mind
When you’re shipping valuable items such as electronics, collectibles, medical equipment, artwork, jewelry, or retail inventory, you need them to arrive on time and in perfect condition. If something goes wrong, you must be protected from losses beyond your control. UNIVAL Logistics' flexible parcel insurance options will provide you with the highest degree of protection at competitive rates.
And when something goes amiss, you need to be protected from losses entirely outside of your control. UNIVAL Logistics parcel insurance options will give you the best protection in the business.

What Is Shipping Insurance?
Shipping insurance is a service that protects the value of goods during transit. If a package is lost, stolen, or damaged during shipping, insurance can reimburse the sender or buyer up to the declared value. Carriers and third-party providers offer it for domestic and international shipments, giving businesses and individuals financial protection against common shipping risks, especially for high-value items.
What Does Shipping Insurance Cover?
Different carriers will offer various insurance models, but generally offer compensation in the event of:
Loss or theft of the package
Damage to goods during transit
Missing contents
In some cases, shipping delays, misdeliveries, or specific risks like weather damage or piracy (depending on the policy).
Coverage usually applies to the package’s declared value, but policies may exclude prohibited goods or improper packaging. It’s important to read the terms since coverage varies among carriers and providers.
How Much is Shipping Insurance?
Shipping insurance costs depend on the item’s declared value, the shipping carrier or insurance provider's rates, and the destination. For example, U.S. carriers often charge around $1–$3 for every $100 of coverage. Third-party insurers may offer lower rates or discounts for bulk shipments. High-value or international packages usually cost more to insure. However, the price is relatively small compared to the potential loss of an uninsured package.
Is Shipping Insurance Worth It?
Shipping insurance is worth it if you’re sending valuable, fragile, or hard-to-replace items. The small upfront cost protects against major financial loss if a package is lost, stolen, or damaged in transit and provides peace of mind. For inexpensive or low-risk items, it may not be necessary. Businesses that ship regularly often use insurance for shipping to avoid frequent replacement costs and maintain their reputation and customer satisfaction.
How Does Shipping Insurance Work?
Shipping insurance works by compensating you for the declared value of a package if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged during delivery. You purchase coverage when booking the shipment, either through the carrier or a third-party shipping insurance provider. If an issue occurs, you file a claim with documentation such as receipts, photos, or tracking details. Once approved, you receive reimbursement up to the insured amount.
