For a retailer 100 packages worth €800 per month, the annual difference can exceed €8,000 Excluding VAT.

Limits from 1 to 20

Limits are often the most costly surprise: €20,000 for businesses (€5,000 for individuals) with Chronopost, Colissimo Business caps coverage at €5,000, FedEx limits luxury items to $1,000 (~€920), while specialized solutions like Claisy cover your packages up to €100,000.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Shipping Insurance

💎 What is ad valorem insurance?
"Ad valorem" means "based on value." This type of insurance covers the actual declared value of your goods, rather than a flat rate based on weight. It is the only effective protection for valuable items, ensuring compensation that matches the actual loss incurred.
⚡ How long does it take for Claisy to issue a refund?
We guarantee reimbursement within 48 to 72 hours after your Dispute claim is approved. This turnaround time is up to 20 times faster than standard carrier processing times (30–90 days), allowing you to preserve your cash flow and quickly satisfy your customer.
⚖️ What is the difference between Carrier 's insurance and liability Carrier
Basic liability (included by default) is a flat-rate coverage and is limited by international conventions (often based on weight, approx. €23/kg). Claisy's Ad Valorem insurance covers the actual market value, with no Limits .
🧮 How do I calculate the actual cost of my current insurance?
Actual Cost = (Insurance premium + Administrative costs for disputes resolution disputes Value of uncovered losses) × Your monthly volume. By eliminating deductibles and minimum fees, Claisy reduces this cost by an average of 30%.
🔄 Can I change my insurance coverage while the shipment is in transit?
No, insurance must be purchased at the time of handover to Carrier. Once the package has been scanned and is in transit, it is too late to activate coverage.
⏪ Can I purchase insurance retroactively for a package that has already been shipped?
