Why Compare Parcel Insurance from Colissimo, Chronopost, FedEx, UPS, DHL, and Others?

Significant Price Differences

An analysis of the 2025 ad valorem insurance market reveals significant differences in rates. While some carriers apply fixed minimums (€12+ at DHL and UPS), others offer proportional rates starting from the first euro. For a retailer shipping 100 parcels worth €800 per month, the annual difference can exceed €8,000 Excluding VAT.

Limits Ranging from 1 to 20

Compensation 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 parcels up to €100,000. For professionals in the luxury, art, or high-tech sectors, these Limits can render standard insurance completely inadequate.

❓ 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, guaranteeing compensation commensurate with the loss incurred.
⚡ What is Claisy's compensation timeline?
We are committed to providing compensation within 48 to 72 hours after your claim is approved at Dispute. This turnaround time is up to 20 times faster than carrier standards (30–90 days), allowing you to preserve your cash flow and quickly satisfy your customer.
⚖️ What is the difference between insurance and the Carrier 's liability?
Basic liability (included by default) is a flat-rate amount 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 restrictive limits .
🧮 How do I calculate the actual cost of my current insurance?
Actual Cost = (Insurance Rate + Administrative Cost of Processing 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 my parcel is in transit?
No, insurance must be purchased at the time the parcel is dropped off at Carrier. Once the parcel has been scanned and is in transit, it is too late to activate coverage.
⏪ Can I purchase insurance retroactively for a parcel that has already been shipped?
No, it is technically impossible to insure a parcel retroactively. The declaration on the Claisy platform must be submitted no later than the day of shipment (by 6:00 a.m. the following morning for automated shipments).
