It is a sad reality that hijackings and theft are all too common. Parcelspot offers a parcel protection product against damage, loss and theft as an additional service, through our insurance partners, to our clients at a nominal fee. To take out cover, simply add the value of the contents of your parcel in the "PROTECTION" field when pulling a quote. Please also ensure that these guidelines are followed when packaging your parcel as damage caused by insufficient packaging may result in a claim being denied. Taking photographs of the item you're shipping (at all angles) both before and after packaging, would be invaluable to the investigation should a claim need to be made.
