How do I file an insurance claim?

How you file an insurance claim depends on the type of insurance you added to the shipment.

Not Available for Personal Shipsurance Accounts

If you have linked a personal Shipsurance account to ShipStation, you must file your Shipsurance claim directly through your Shipsurance account portal. The ability to file via a link in ShipStation will not be available in this case.

If you are unsure if you are using a ShipStation or personal Shipsurance account, go to Settings > Shipping > Insurance. If there is no Add Funds option for Shipsurance, it is a personal account.

Carrier Insurance

If you added Carrier insurance to your shipment, you must file the claim directly through the carrier-specific insurance portals, linked here for your convenience:
