The ability to insure your parcel(s) is governed by the courier that delivers your parcel. Within Canada and the United States, it is always preferred by the courier that the parcel be sent to a business address rather than a residential address. Sending to a business address results in a more timely delivery and a guarantee that the parcel arrives securely in the hands of someone who can sign for the parcel during business hours. Parcels sent to business addresses are also fully insured against loss or obvious damage to the parcel and its contents.
Residential destinations are insured to a maximum of $300.00 CDN against obvious damage to the parcel and its contents, and are only insured to a maximum of $100.00 CDN against courier loss. Within Canada, parcels must be signed for by the recipient or receiver directly and will not be left on a doorstep unless indicated to do so at the time of ordering. Requesting the parcel to be left without a signature will forfeit ALL insurance on the parcel. Within the USA, it is FedEx's policy and practice to leave parcels on residential properties without obtaining a signature. Should the parcel have been delivered to the correct address and subsequently go missing before being claimed by the recipient, neither the shipper nor courier will claim responsibility for the parcel and all insurance on the parcel becomes void.
For inter-continental deliveries, UPS will fully insure the parcel against loss or obvious damage to the parcel and its contents to a maximum of $500.00 CDN.
