❓ Parcel Insurance for Beginners

🤔 What exactly is "ad valorem" insurance, in simple terms?

This is "actual value" insurance. If you ship a phone worth €500, the basic (weight-based) insurance will reimburse you ~€23, whereas the ad valorem insurance is designed to reimburse you the full €500.

⚙️ In practical terms, how does it work?

It's simple: 1) You declare the value of your shipment (e.g., €800). 2) You pay a premium based on a percentage of that value. In the event of a claim, the reimbursement is based on the declared €800, not on a paltry flat rate.

💸 Is it expensive?

No, with Claisy, it's very cost-effective. Unlike carriers' options, true ad valorem insurance is proportional. For a product worth €100, it costs only a few tens of cents, thereby protecting your profit margin and ensuring customer satisfaction.

📋 Do I need to prove the value of my shipment?

Yes, always. You must be able to provide proof of the declared value in the form of a sales invoice (for new items) or proof of purchase (for used items). This is essential to receive compensation.

🛡️ Is it like the insurance on my credit card?

No, not at all. Credit card insurance primarily covers purchases, not commercial shipments. The coverage Limits low, the deductibles Limits high, and it’s unsuitable for business use.

🌐 Can I use it with any Carrier

Yes, that's one of the major advantages of independent insurance. Whether you use Colissimo, Chronopost, UPS, or another carrier, Claisy works the same way, offering you unified coverage and a streamlined process.

💡 Why Carrier my Carrier insurance enough?

Because it is known for its Limits (compensation based on weight), its numerous exclusions (luxury items, high-tech products, etc.), and its slow reimbursement process (over 60 days). Ad valorem insurance is the coverage of choice for professionals.
