Insurance is available for an additional cost. There are several policies available with varying premiums.

Your insurance cost is determined based on the deductible you select and whether your shipment is domestic or international. 

There are four deductibles options: $100.00 Deductible $30.00 cost per $1,000 declared value  $250.00 Deductible $25.00 cost per $1,000 declared value $500.00 Deductible $20.00 cost per $1,000 declared value To qualify for insurance, the total declared value of your goods must be greater than $1000.

While Ship Smart has a loss and damage rate below 2%, accidents can happen with any mover, so we offer a complete replacement policy available for purchase. Should you decide to opt-out of our insurance, Ship Smart would assume your items are insured elsewhere, whether that be a homeowners or renters policy. If you are unsure if shipping is covered in your third-party policies, you can add insurance up until the day of pick up of your goods.

Although damage and loss are rare, Ship Smart recommends purchasing insurance to protect your goods. Freight carriers have liability limited to $0.10 per pound. Pickup and Inside Delivery warehouses must carry basic liability insurance, but this will not cover damage or loss in transit.
