This guide applies to Sellers based in the United States only.

Most carriers include standard insurance coverage up to a certain level in their services, and give the option to purchase additional insurance for higher valued items. For a list of included insurance thresholds, see our handy guide

When you ship an order in Veeqo you can enter the value of the items in a package to see any additional insurance charges before you purchase a label.

Note: Amazon Shipping does not currently support insurance.

How to declare a value for your package

To see any additional insurance charges you can add the total package value to an individual order, or in bulk by selecting several orders and clicking the "Edit services" button.
