Collectively, our US based underwriter has over 50 years experience in this industry covering high value items such as: Machinery, Laboratory Equipment, Jewelry, Cash, Rare coins or one of a kind items. Most carriers will not cover such items because of the risk, but our system and shipping insurance underwriter will.

Insurance 101

There are many factors to consider when shopping for Shipping Insurance. Many of our clients first assume price is the main factor, not considering exactly what type of coverage is being purchased.

Time Saver: Most insurance companies require you to fill out several pages of documentation and then require you to wait for a quote. In many instances, you are later informed that coverage is not available to you on the type of shipment your requesting insurance for. FREIGHT88 covers all types of shipments via any mode of travel you choose. We actually want to insure your shipments, not waste your valuable time filling in forms and not offering you insurance.

Common Policy Exceptions: Many cargo insurance companies have odd policy requirements and clauses to allow them to deny your claim in your hour of need. Commonly, if you cannot produce the original insurance certificate to the insurance company, no coverage will be offered. FREIGHT88; instead of looking for reasons not to cover your claim, assists you in the simple steps necessary to be sure you’re protected. We have built our reputation on the glowing feedback of our clients. We understand your needs and take the necessary steps to insure your needs are not simply met, but exceeded.

Pricing: By researching the numerous different options available to you in the insurance market, you will quickly see a wide range of pricing. FREIGHT88 will not always be the lowest bidder; however we will offer the best value, 100% of the time. We live in an age where you defiantly “get what you pay for”; when considering the end result of your purchase, know that the lowest priced option usually yields the least desirable results.

Online Seller Liability: By choosing FREIGHT88 as your insurance partner for your online sales, you virtually guarantee satisfied customers. The effort is taken by you to be sure your shipments are well packaged to provide for a rewarding experience for the buyer. Imagine your package arriving to your excited buyer damaged, and then having to inform them that unfortunately there is nothing you can do to assist them as the shipment was uninsured, or underinsured. By adding FREIGHT88 to your customer satisfaction toolbox, you will quickly see increased sales and more satisfied customers while eliminating your current liability from damaged shipments.

What about Claims?
Anyone can give discounted shipping insurance, but when it comes time to file a damage claim does your coverage really work? At Freight88, we have a proven system that will not only make your shipping coverage easier, but you will have the piece of mind that when there is a damage claim or shipment shortage, you will be taken care of.

We have heard time and time again about freight carriers denying coverage when it was obviously damaged by them. At Freight88, we take care of everything from start to finish. Ask any other insurance underwriter or some of the 3rd party resellers on the internet to do that.
