Compare your coverage
More protection. More flexibility. One simple rate.
| EasyPost | Carriers | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage across 100+ carriers | ✓ | Limited |
| Theft protection | ✓ | Typically not included |
| Jewelry coverage | Up to $5,000+ | Often excluded |
| Simple 1% flat rate | ✓ | Varies |
| No separate contracts | ✓ | Varies |
| Dedicated claims experience | ✓ | Varies |
Popular carriers such as USPS and FedEx often include $100 of standard liability coverage. This generally applies to loss or damage and does not protect against theft.
How it works
Insure your package
Add insurance to your existing Shipping API call when you buy a label, or insure a package separately through the Insure endpoint.
Submit a claim
If your insured package is stolen, lost, or damaged, lost, submit a claim through EasyPost. Our streamlined process makes it easy to get your claim moving quickly.
Get paid
Once your claim is approved, funds are deposited directly into your EasyPost account. Checks are also available upon request.
How it works
Insure packages
For our shipping API users, you can buy insurance when you purchase a label. For standalone insurance users, you can add insurance through the Insure endpoint and integrate it with your product.
Submit a claim
If your insured package is damaged, lost, or stolen, submit a claim for reimbursement.
Get paid
Funds will be deposited to your EasyPost account, or mailed through check upon request.
