This app and company just keeps getting worse. We have been having claims denied for no reason at all. Sometimes tracking clearly shows it was lost, sometimes it shows it was delivered and we have written affidavit from the customer that it was not, or was stolen. Sometimes even delivered to wrong address. In any case, they will find any reason they can to deny your claims. Customer support is not help at all and will essentially just forward your emails over to the same claims team that denied them. If you reach out to the claims adjusters, they simply tell you "this is staying closed". My last claim she flat out told me that USPS said the delivered it so it's denied. Ok, so why are you advertising that this protects against theft or packages that were misdelivered? In the month of December alone, we paid this company (UPS Capital, InsureShield, whatever they go by now), over $800, only for them to deny claims. To me, this is blatant fraud and honestly, we are considering legal action and may also have to talk to our bank about reversing that charge. It's not just these two claims, it's happened before and right now the cost does not justify the spotty coverage they are replying. Our recommendation, seek a different app. You won't be happy with this one (also, the shopify extension/app is extremely buggy and sometimes won't even show you transactions).

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re genuinely sorry for what you’ve experienced. We understand how frustrating inconsistent claim outcomes and app issues can be, and this is not the experience we aim to deliver. We’ve already put a team on it to investigate both the claim outcomes and the Shopify app issues you mentioned. A team member will reach out directly to collect details and work toward a resolution. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
This app started off great. Unfortunately, over the past few months it has turned into hot garbage. The transactions won't even load no matter how many times I refresh the page. We're still getting charged for transactions, and we can't even see them at all. Shipments are being skipped over, allowing packages to not receive insurance coverage randomly. We're out several claims that were supposed to be covered automatically and can't be covered now because their system just skips covering random orders for no reason. Support used to be good as well. Unfortunately, when you send a support request. It takes about a week to get a reply and the person that replies can't even help you. They act as a go between between you and the actual tech support people, and it takes about a week each time for a response and the problem is not resolved ever. The app is completely broken, yet they will continue to charge you for transactions that you can't even see. And even when you could see them, they would just skip over random shipments, so when you go to file a claim, they don't have to pay because it doesn't show to be insured. You can't even dispute it with them because all you see is a charge on your credit card for the month of transactions, but you can't see if that transaction was even covered because the app is broken. I can no longer recommend this app.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the experience you had. Even though some time has passed, we still want to acknowledge your concerns. What you described isn’t the experience we want for our merchants. Since then, we’ve made important updates to improve transaction visibility, coverage reliability, and support responsiveness. If you’re open to reconnecting, we’d really appreciate the chance to help and make sure things are working the way they should today. Your feedback genuinely helps us get better.
Was great for first couple of months. If you actually need to use the insurance (i.e. file claims) they will rapidly increase your rates with no warning. They also won't allow you to negotiate or bring down your rates once they do this. They will also charge insurance for full MSRP value on products, even if the customer received a discount, or the item was on sale at the time. There's a lot of work needed, but it worked well for us in the beginning.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience was not ideal. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. A member of our team will reach out to get more details to assist you.
I would not recommend this app at all. After using it for 7 months and only submitted 5 claims, they've decided to change my policy and told me that they were going to deduct $50 from every claim refund on top of what they're already charging me and my customers. The most absurd thing I've heard. But luckily, there's plenty of fish in the sea so I found me a much better app on the app store that doesn't have these ridiculous terms. Keep looking, there are way better apps out there than Insure Shield.
muy buena y muy rapida la resolucion de casos de reclamos, Fue muy buena decision de nuestra compañia tomar la cobertura de seguro de envios. gracias por atencion. Mil veces recomendado

That’s what we call the brighter side of shipping! We are so glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the InsureShield app & had a positive experience with our customer success team.
We really like using the Insure Shield app on shopify to protect our packages. They have been a life saver for our wholesale and retail site. Making a claim is easy & the agents are very responsive.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We prioritize our customer service and easy claims process so it is great to hear that you’ve had a great experience with our app!
It is easy to work with this app. However, I was skeptical at the beginning. Now we have quick replies to our queries.

We are glad that you had a great experience with our app so far! That’s what we call the brighter side of shipping!
I submitted my first claim after months and it has taken a month to get a response only asking for the tracking number because their system is not working properly. Horrible first-time experience. UPDATE, Yes I mentioned the tracking number above. Why did it take me to email you a month later to get a response that you needed a tracking number?
Developer reply ·
Hi Aqua Lab Technologies - we are so sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced when filing your first claim with us. After doing some investigation, we identified there was an issue with the first tracking number you provided with your claim. Upon receiving an updated tracking number, your claim was immediately submitted for payment on 12/20. We hope that clears up any confusion and would be happy to chat more if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Fantastic support! They are a great team to work with. I needed a bit of code adjustments and they responded and fixed the issue immediately. Thank you!

Hi VOELEN, We are so glad to hear that you had a great experience with our support team! Our team appreciates the positive feedback and is dedicated to providing you the best support. Happy shipping!
Unfortunately, they're just like every other insurer. Sell "peace of mind" only to deny every claim based on some obscure excuse. First claim out of the gate was denied, so I've canceled my account. Just wasting money...

We are sorry to hear that your experience with our claims process was less than 5-stars. We would like the opportunity to talk and investigate your feedback further. A member of our team will be reaching out shortly to assist you. UPDATED: Hi Zaar Guitars, thank you for your patience as we look into this issue for you. Our team discovered that there was a store discount applied to the order that made the order value, that was sent to us, $0.00. When our team receives an order with a $0.00 order value, our team automatically un-insures the order due to the fact that there is no order value to assign a premium to. We apologize for the inconvenience, please feel free to reach out with any additional questions.
We have installed it as a test for insurance of our packages while choosing the option to insure packages only if selected, anyway, we have had it for a few weeks and never used the services and they are charging us fees for some reason even if we proved that the charges are based on false data as we haven't used any of the services. Also, it only covers shopify based orders and not any orders that integrate into shopify from other sources.

I have been an InsureShield for Shopify customer since August 2002. We are satisfied with how UPS Capital takes care of our claims. They process the claim soon as you file it with them

Thank you for the kind review O Skin Med Spa! We prioritize customer service and we're so happy to hear that you've had good experiences with our claims process. We appreciate you taking time out to provide us with feedback!
I really enjoy the smooth process when using this app. I recently had to make a claim and it was easy, I provided them with the information needed when filling out the form and a few days later it was approved. They have even helped me set it up on my website with some customizations which is really great. Patrick Bell is my rep and he always answers my phone calls when I need help with something and if he is unsure he will find out and get back to me. That kind of customer service is a big reason why I recommend working with this shipping insurance company.
Developer reply ·
Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback. Our priority is customer service, and we are ecstatic that you got to experience this firsthand while customizing your website! Kind people like you make our job a pleasure.
I've use UPS Capital for over a year now and their insurance processing for claims is the best we've used to date. Incredibly fast processing, simple and intuitive interface and they cover a vast amount of service levels and service providers. We've used them from domestic and international shipments with zero issues. I highly recommend you using them if you're contemplating adding insurance to your shipments.

As a company that relies on the timely delivery of packages, we are confident in InsureShield's package insurance. Their straightforward claim process and reliable payment of claims ensure that our bottom line will not suffer from any unforeseeable losses. Moreover, the added protection against package theft through their app is a valuable benefit that provides us with peace of mind, and ensures our customers' satisfaction. In short, InsureShield's package insurance is an invaluable product that helps us mitigate risks, protect our business interests, and maintain the highest level of customer service. I can't overstate how highly I recommend this app!

Thank you Budget Billiards Supply for the kind review! We love to hear that you are happy with our customer service and our claims process. Happy shipping!
UPS Capital has been a welcome addition to our online store! No matter how good we prepare our shipments, eventually a shipper will lose or damage our order. Our previous insurance company denied most of our claims saying it was our fault not their shippers. But with UPS Capital our claims have been going through and the process is so much easier. Thank you UPS Capital!

Thank you for the review Yandas Music! We are thrilled that you've enjoyed your claims journey with us. Thank you for being such a valued customer and sharing your positive experience!
It gives us peace of mind to know we can rely on coverage for our precious tea and ceramics while the easy claim process helps take some of the pain away. Our customers are always impressed that a small shop like ours can give large company customer service.

Thank you Mamma Mia Covers for the kind review! We love to hear that you are happy with our customer service and we have helped resolve any issues. Happy shipping!
This is a great APP! It saves me a lot of time as opposed to navigating UPS's or USPS standard claim process! The cost is negligible and easily transferred to customers, and the savings in time and headache in the draconian claims process UPS has for its standard customers is well worth the costs. The folks are very helpful and go above and beyond to make sure you have the proper service. I am really quite pleased. No one who ships anything that could possibly break should not buy this app (if you're shipping tee shirts... well you might be able to get away without it!) I did with hold one star, and that is because UPS Capital, the underwriter for the app, continually solicits my business to cover me overall. Since experiencing UPS Capital through Shopify, I want it, however they refuse me (even though they solicit me...). One time they said that I break too many packages (to be fair, UPS breaks the packages after I pack them to their standards), and the other time they said I needed $3M in shipping volume to qualify. It is very frustrating that they dangle this carrot in front of me, only to refuse me. I also think that since UPS and UPS Capital are obviously in bed together, and I already pay the declared value insurance (and they do reimburse me after I follow their draconian process), and am willing to pay UPS capital insurance on top, they should just make my life easier and let me play with the big kids. Once again, get this product if you experience breakages, very streamlined, easy to keep track off, overall excellent, and the customer support is great. I withheld a star because I want it for the rest of my business : ) Thanks Shopify for getting my foot in the door of this next level product. And if you are curious, I ship maple syrup in glass and plastic, and so thats why breakages are a part of doing business for me.

Thank you Limbsaw for the kind review! We are thrilled that you have had a good experience using InsureShield and are happy with our service. Customers like you are always a joy to work with. Happy shipping!
Before, UPS Insureshield had to get insurance for each package when generating the shipping label; now, it is done automatically and gives the Customer the option of adding the insurance to their cart. It has been about six months since I started using it, and after the initial setup, it has been 'setup and forget.' Works seamlessly in the background. Had one claim which took 3 weeks to resolve with minimal fuss.

Thank you for the kind review! We love to hear that InsureShield has been a seamless experience for you and that you had a good claims process. Happy shipping!
We've been using InsureShield for the last six months or so and could not be happier. The claims process super smooth and easy, but for us the time saved on not having to manually calculate the insurance amount for each order is the big win. We use Shopify Shipping, and prior to installing InsureShield we would manually calculate the replacement value (70%) on each order. Now we bulk ship quickly and easily with complete peace of mind that each order is sufficiently insured if it's lost or damaged.

Thank you for the kind review Taco Moto! We love to hear that the claims process has been easy for you and that we have helped you save time and have peace of mind. Customers like you make our jobs even better. Happy shipping!
So far so good. Claims process is super easy. Would give 5 stars if there were a way to easily view accrued charges without having to run reports or wait for the invoice.

Thank you for the review. We are thrilled that the claims process has been easy. We appreciate the invoice feedback and will relay this to our team to keep in mind for future enhancements.

Thank you Bunn Gear for the kind review! We are thrilled that you have had a good experience using InsureShield and are happy with our service. Customers like you are always a joy to work with. Happy shipping!
UPS Capital has been a welcome addition to our online store! No matter how good we prepare our shipments, eventually a shipper will lose or damage our order. It was a process to file a claim and eventually get a small reimbursement from the shipper. But with UPS Capital, we know we'll get paid right away, so we're able to quickly ship our customers a replacement product without needing any sort of approval from anyone. This gives our customers a much better experience and makes it easier for our team to manage. Thank you UPS Capital!

Great customer support and followup to questions. I have this app on 2 stores and it gives me the peace of mind that if anything were to happen to my customers orders in transit. The value for your money is excellent. You can set up which order values you want, have the customer elect it or you pay for the coverage for all your orders. Claims are easy. We have high and low value products and cover all. Patrick was great at checking in and following up after setup.

Easy sign up. No monthly fees. I needed more than $100 of insurance on my packages. It adds an option at check out, after choosing UPS, I typed in the amount the package is worth. It was so easy. Patrick even called me to help finish the sign up process.

We're glad you love InsureShield! Our goal is to keep you and your customers happy. We are thrilled Patrick was able to help you sign up. Here's to happy shipping!
Great product and I love that I can give the customer the option to either use the shipping insurance or not. I have not filed a claim yet but am interested to see how the process goes. The only complaint that I have is who is eligible for the coverage I have received conflicting answers from UPS Capital team members, some answers in writing would be awesome to clarify the terms.

Thank you for the review. We are thrilled that you are happy with your insurance options. We hope that Patrick from our team was able to clarify and answer your questions. Thank you for the valuable feedback!

Thank you for your kind review! We love to hear that your experience has been great. We always aim to deliver a 5 star experience to our customers and we are thrilled that we have met the mark.
We have been using the UPS Capital app for our Shopify store for a year and a half now and love it. It did have some hiccups but seems like they have made some changes to the platform. As a Shopify merchant that uses a vendor to drop ship for us without insurance, this has been a great value to the time to deal with the lengthy process of filing claims with the carriers for damaged or lost shipments. InsureShield for Shopify makes the process of filing claims simple and effective regardless of carrier. Customer support both phone for technical quesitons, the responsiveness from our claim representative, along with payments have been great. We rarely have claims but this gives us peace of mind incase something happens.

Thought this app would be a plus but don't make the mistake of installing if you have any expectation of needing any service or if you happen to process any orders using a method other then shipping like pickup or local delivery. When I first signed up they were helpful and a rep contacted me about my issues, but since that person promised to credit me for orders not shipped it has been months and they still haven't got it fixed. It is literally impossible to reach anyone on their team, they offer an 800 number that always goes to voicemail and then don;t respond to your voicemails, mail support is the same all my messages constantly go ignored and on the rare occasion someone contacts you they never followup. I've never had to make a claim but with the service I've seen so far it does not bode well!

I could provide a minus 10 if available. My UPS account manager advised me to get this app to provide insurance to my packages. I paid insurance through Shopify, and now UPS is charging me for insurance. There is no interface between Shopify and UPS insurance. It is fraud and deception; after paying insurance via Shopify, they are also charging me insurance. I am deleting it. Store owners, be aware, don't get scammed by these people

As a Shopify Plus merchant we never found value in spending the time to deal with the lengthy process of filing claims with the carriers for damaged or lost shipments. InsureShield for Shopify provides us with one solution and one process that makes filing claims simple and effective regardless of carrier.

Extremely easy setup and a seamless platform which captures your orders with nothing to do on the front end. Jeanne at UPS Capital went above and beyond to provide bespoke solutions for our business to better integrate with the app and has been there for us whenever we've needed her (we ship a very niche product). If you need help integrating or run into any snags, you can rely on customer support (ask for Jeanne!) that is hard to find these days. If you want minimize your risk in a straight forward way (especially if you are shipping a high value product) it makes sense to install the app / use UPS Capital for insurance.

Why thanks Apollo Gear Co. We’re also extremely happy to know you’re having a good experience with InsureShield. On behalf of Jeanne and all of us at UPS Capital, we certainly appreciate you. As we like to say, ship happy with InsureShield.
