What would covering your next shipment cost?
Slide to the value of your goods, then build the full insured value the way marine underwriters do, cost of goods + shipping + a 10% buffer, known as CIF+10%. Premiums stay flat and predictable.
Estimates based on typical rates. Your exact premium is confirmed instantly when you quote, no obligation.
A $45,000 shipment is lost in transit.What actually gets paid?
Courier liability often stops at $100. Freight liability on a standard bill of lading is $4.41 per kilogram. Both pay only when the carrier is proven at fault.
Capped by weight or a declared-value limit, paid only if the carrier is at fault, after a slow claims process.
The full invoice value, paid directly to you as the cargo owner, regardless of fault, with no deductible on parcel.
Four Places Coverage Fails, and One Where It Doesn’t
At every risk point along the route, carrier liability finds a reason not to pay. All-risk doesn’t.
Dropped in handling
A forklift punctures a $30K skid of electronics.
Stolen from a trailer
Verisk CargoNet reports stolen cargo value up 60% to about $725M in a year.
Water damage
Ocean carrier liability limits leave a $100K container covered for about $7,000.
Crushed on the tailgate
A lift-gate drop shatters an $18K pallet on delivery.
All-Risk Coverage vs. Standard Carrier Liability
All-risk shipper’s interest insurance protects the owner of the cargo, you, for the invoice value, up to your declared value, regardless of fault. Carrier liability protects the carrier: limited perils, negligence required, payouts capped by weight.
Full value. No fault. No phone calls.
Carrier liability protects the carrier. ShipSimple insures the goods themselves, so when something goes wrong, you get the invoice value back, up to your declared value, fast.
