In 2025, the e-commerce market continues its exponential growth, and every logistical detail becomes a battleground for customer satisfaction. For an e-merchant on Magento or Adobe Commerce, shipping management is at the heart of this battle. But one question often remains in the blind spot: what happens when the package is lost, stolen or damaged? Think you're covered by your carrier's basic insurance? Then you're in for a nasty surprise. See also our article comparing parcel insurance offers from different CMS.

The carrier-integrated insurance trap: a risk for your business

When you ship via Colissimo or Chronopost from your Magento interface, you benefit from basic flat-rate compensation. This coverage, often presented as security, is in reality a sieve full of exclusions, derisory Limits and claims procedures designed to discourage you.

The problem is simple: insurance isn't their business. Their aim is to deliver, not to compensate you fairly. The result?

  • Interminable reimbursement times: Be prepared to wait 60, 90 or even more days for a reimbursement.
  • Indemnity Limits too low: Basic indemnity barely covers the value of a loss leader, and certainly not your high-value items.
  • Hidden deductibles and exclusions: Many types of products are poorly covered or not covered at all
  • Management by carrier: Do you use Colissimo, Chronopost, DHL and FedEx? You'll have to manage four different claims processes, four different contacts and four times the complexity. An administrative nightmare

This system is a source of friction for your teams, a threat to your cash flow and a danger to your e-reputation.

The modern solution: an ad valorem insurance module 100% integrated with Magento

Faced with this complexity, the answer is not to suffer, but to equip yourself. Imagine a single, plug-and-play module that installs in just a few clicks in your Magento back-office. Parcel insurance that covers all your parcels, whatever the carrier, with transparent pricing and centralized, automated claims management, without ever leaving your interface. You'll never have to worry about your parcels being lost, damaged or stolen again!

This is precisely Claisy's promise. Here's a direct confrontation between the two approaches.

Strategic Comparison: Carrier Insurance vs. Claisy Module for Magento

Carrier insurance (Colissimo, Chronopost...)
⚖️ Compensation principle
By default, the eystème lump sum (e.g. 23€/kg) or tiered options. By default, you're never reimbursed at your real value, but if you take the option you have a chance.
📉 Limit Maximum
Extremely low on the basic offer. Pay-as-you-go options remain very limited and unsuited to high-tech or luxury.
Claims process
Complex and time-consuming. Average waiting time of 60 to 90 days, managed via external portals, one for each carrier.
💸 Actual cost
Average rate of over 1%, often with deductibles, fixed costs and minimum premiums that penalize your margin.
Claisy module for Magento
🎯 Compensation principle
Ad Valorem. You are compensated for the actual declared value of your product. Zero loss, to the penny.
📈 Limit Maximum
Up to €100,000 per shipment. To protect all your goods without exception, whatever the carrier.
Claims process
100% automated and integrated into your Magento back-office. Compensation within 72 hours. Unified for all your carriers.
Actual cost
A fair and transparent rate of 0.75%. No deductible, no hidden charges. You control your costs.

Universal coverage: no longer held hostage by your carriers

One of the most powerful strategic advantages of a dedicated shipping insurance module is freedom. With Claisy, you are no longer limited by the carrier contract you have chosen for a given shipment.

  • Multi-carrier coverage: Whether you ship with Chronopost, Colissimo, DHL, UPS, FedEx, or GLS, your level of coverage is identical, premium & centralized.
  • Destinations Mondiales: A single insurance policy to cover your shipments in France, Europe and abroad, with the same guarantees
  • Operational simplicity: A single contract, a single rate, a single contact for all your disputes: lost, stolen or damaged parcels , so a single process for declaring your dispute to a single contact. At last, your logistics teams can concentrate on their core business: shipping.

This unified approach transforms insurance from a cost and complexity center into a true competitive advantage.
