“We move containers overseas monthly, and marine insurance with ShipSimple is the smartest decision we’ve made. One storm-related delay led to damaged product – and we were fully covered. Their team handled it like pros.”
Raj M., Logistics Manager, Canadian Home Goods Exporter
“We insured a full container of art pieces going to Europe. When part of the cargo was affected by water damage, ShipSimple’s claim process was clear and surprisingly quick. Professional and reliable from start to finish.”
Elena G., International Art Dealer, Toronto
“One of our refrigerated shipments of organic products failed due to a temperature spike in transit. We had ShipSimple freight insurance, and it saved us from a total loss. Quick claim turnaround, no drama.”
Chris L., Operations, Natural Food Company, BC
“Shipping machinery across provinces is expensive and risky. One of our loads was mishandled, and without insurance, we’d be down $18,000. ShipSimple covered it – no finger-pointing, just fast resolution.”
Andre P., Equipment Supplier, Alberta
“We had a high-value freight load damaged during cross-border transit. ShipSimple’s cargo insurance came through – fast claim, full payout, zero hassle. I now insure every shipment without question.”
Laura C., Supply Chain Director, Automotive Parts Exporter
“We ship temperature-sensitive freight weekly. One route delay almost ruined the shipment — but our insurance with ShipSimple covered the loss. Fast support, great communication, and zero out-of-pocket cost.”
Mel D., Logistics Coordinator, Specialty Foods Distributor
