You manage your shipments via Sendcloud, Packlink, Upela, Boxtal, nShift or Eurosender... You know that basic Carrier insurance is a chimera. So the question is no longer "should I insure?", but "should I use my platform's built-in insurance, or is there a more powerful solution?"
Your choice of insurance partner for your shipments (ChronopostDHL, UPS, FedEx, etc.) is a strategic decision that has a direct impact on your profitability and customer satisfaction. Between the "one-click" parcel insurance offered by platforms, the tailor-made services of brokers, and the integrated power of specialists like Claisy, the path can seem blurred.
This guide is not a simple comparison. It's a strategic analysis designed for you, the e-commerce or logistics professional, to make the most informed choice for your business.
1. Integrated Logistics Platform Assurance (Sendcloud, LetMeShip, Boxtal, nShift, ...) : Centralized Efficiency
It's the solution that may seem simplest to subscribe to, directly integrated into your daily work tools.
The Principle: Whether you're on Sendcloud, nShift, Packlink (pro), Upela, Boxtal or Eurosender, parcel insurance is an option that can be activated with a single click when you create your label. Everything is centralized.
Decisive advantages :
- Unbeatable simplicity: No external site, no additional contract. Subscribing is a reflex, not a chore.
- Negotiated rates: These platforms pool volumes and obtain preferential rates that are often unobtainable through direct sales.
- Delegated claims management: In the event of loss or damage, your point of contact is the platform, not the Carrier's customer service department. The process is smoother, but not always faster.
The Verdict: This is the ideal solution for companies that value speed of execution and absolute centralization. If your priority is to spend as little time as possible on insurance management for shipments of moderate value, this is the option to consider.
2. The Transport Broker: The Architect of Made-to-Measure
The broker is your personal consultant. His role is not to sell you a product, but to design a unique solution for your shipping insurance needs.
The principle: After an audit of your flows and risks, the broker negotiates a tailor-made insurance contract for you with his network of insurers.
Decisive advantages :
- Covering complex needs: Atypical goods, complex international flows, specific risks... The broker finds cover where standard solutions fail
- Financial Optimization: Our expertise and ability to put insurers in competition with each other guarantee you an optimized protection/price ratio for large volumes.
The Verdict: This is the solution of choice for medium-sized and large companies with highly specific, non-standard logistics requirements.
3. Les Spécialistes (Claisy) : The Power of a Dedicated Solution, Connected to Your E-commerce
This approach offers the best of all worlds: expert protection, seamless technology integration and unbeatable lead times to put a smile back on your customers' faces.
The principle: Claisy is a specialist in Ad Valorem solutions that protect the real value of your assets, while integrating directly with your working tools.
Decisive advantages :
- Maximum, unfailing protection:
- Very HighLimits : Coverage up to €100,000 and more, essential for luxury goods, art or valuable equipment.
- Ultra-competitive costs: By focusing solely on risk, rates are drastically lower than those of carriers' Ad Valorem options.
- Invisible" ad valorem insurance: The Carrier is unaware of the actual insured value, which limits the risk of targeted theft.
- Designed for VSEs, SMEs, ETIs, marketplaces and e-commerce:
- Seamless integration : Thanks to its numerous native connectors (CMS like Shopify, PrestaShop, ... - OMS - WMS...), Claisy integrates directly into your ecosystem. You can automate parcel insurance subscription according to the rules you define, without leaving your tools.
- Total flexibility: You're not locked into a logistics platform ecosystem. You choose the best Carrier for each shipment, and add the best insurance.

It's for those looking for both the maximum protection (lost parcels, stolen goods, damaged parcels, etc.) of a specialist for their valuable goods, and the efficiency of an automated, integrated solution.
