Sometimes the unexpected happens. uShip offers shipping customers the option to purchase the uShip Protection Plan to protect their shipments. Protection Plans are available for purchase at checkout on most shipments being shipped by US based customers.

Shipments booked with any of the LTL Instant Rate Carriers will be subject to the carrier's Limitation of Liability in the case of damage or loss. If you determine that your shipment requires additional protection, we offer LTL Protection Plans for purchase during checkout at an affordable rate.

How much does the uShip Protection Plan cost?
