Shipping valuable parcels internationally can be nerve-wracking. Expensive hauls deserve robust protection. This guide explains how Sugargoo's shipping insurance system works and the steps to take in the unfortunate event of loss or damage.
Why Insure Your Sugargoo Parcel?
While Sugargoo partners with reliable carriers, international transit involves multiple handling points and potential unforeseen events. Insurance provides peace of mind, ensuring your financial investment in high-value items like designer goods, electronics, or rare collectibles is safeguarded against:
- Loss or complete disappearance of the parcel.
- Physical damage incurred during transit.
- Tampering or theft of contents.
Without insurance, claiming compensation for such incidents can be extremely difficult and often results in a total loss.
