While carriers often offer an included amount of insurance with some services, there may be times you want to purchase additional insurance for items valued higher than what is included as standard.

When you ship your order you can add additional carrier insurance before you purchase your label.

Adding your insurance is part of the larger process of shipping your order and this guide will show how to add this to an order as you ship.

Additional insurance is added at the point where you ship orders and can be done on an order by order basis or in bulk.
