A common misconception is that freight shipments are
automatically insured by the carrier through the carrier’s limits
of liability. But if you think you’re fully covered for loss or
damage, think again. The truth is, carrier limits of liability is
NOT insurance and should not be counted on to protect the full
value of your shipment – which is why Unishippers recommends
coverage through UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc.

FULL VALUE REPAYMENTCarrier liability for loss or damage has
limits, regardless of the actual value of the shipment. But with
shipment insurance, your freight shipments are fully protected if
anything happens.
Not only are your shipments covered with shipment insurance, but
coverage applies to any freight carrier you choose — including
multi-modes of transport.
FLEXIBLE COVERAGE
Under carrier liability, weather- and disaster-related loss or
damage is typically exempt from reimbursement. While insurance
won’t cover service guarantee failures, it will cover the cost of
the lost or damaged goods.
DISASTER PROTECTION
Carrier limits of liability offers no official deadline for
settling claims. Some claims can take months before anything is
resolved. With insurance protection, your claim will be processed
quickly and efficiently.
