Insuring Hermes with EasyPost
You need insurance to protect your high-value packages, but dealing with Hermes directly or a third-party insurance provider involves a ton of forms and several months of waiting to receive your claim resolution.
Insuring your Hermes shipments with EasyPost is the easiest way to protect yourself against losses from lost or damaged goods. For just 1% of the insured value, with a $1 minimum, we will insure any shipment purchased through EasyPost.
It's easy to set up and file a claim, and you'll receive reimbursement within 30 days. Check out our Shipping Insurance Guide and our Shipping Insurance Terms to get started, or talk to one of our shipping experts by clicking the blue button on the right.
For access to all of the Hermes API functionality through EasyPost, just sign up or get in touch with one of our shipping experts.
