Coverage
Carrier insurance is coverage provided by the carrier for select services or postage types. This type of insurance is included in the price of postage and often covers a fixed value. Additional insurance coverage for high-value shipments may be available through the carrier for an added cost.
For most carriers, default coverage for domestic service is up to $100 against loss or damage. However, please keep in mind that carrier insurance does not include coverage while the shipment is within Chit Chats’ service. You will need to confirm the specific terms and conditions of the insurance coverage with the carrier.
