Most UK Ecommerce Brands Are Overpaying for Shipping Insurance

Many UK brands treat shipping insurance as a fixed cost, while continuing to rely on carrier compensation that leaves gaps in cover.

This creates two problems: unnecessary spend and unmanaged risk.

U-PIC solves both by providing a fully insured shipping solution that reduces costs while improving coverage and claims outcomes.

A Better Alternative to Carrier Compensation

Carrier compensation often results in limited protection, inconsistent claims outcomes, and higher long-term costs.

U-PIC offers a more reliable, fully insured approach that allows UK ecommerce brands to:

This allows brands to better protect shipments while delivering a more reliable customer experience.

Significant Impact at Scale

For high-volume ecommerce brands, shipping insurance is not a small line item -- it is a meaningful cost centre and opportunity.

At approximately 10,000 parcels per month, many UK brands see:

This creates a measurable financial advantage while improving operational efficiency.

Comprehensive Shipping Insurance Coverage

U-PIC provides broader protection than standard carrier compensation, covering scenarios that are often excluded or inconsistently handled by carriers.

Fast, Predictable Claims Resolution

Carrier claims processes can be slow and inconsistent, creating delays and uncertainty.

U-PIC provides a streamlined claims experience with resolution typically within 7-10 days.

This allows your team to resolve issues quickly, take care of customers faster, and reduce friction in the post-purchase experience.

Improve Checkout Conversion and Customer Experience

Offering shipping protection at checkout does more than reduce risk -- it can improve conversion.

Studies suggest an increase in order conversion when shipping protection is available, while also allowing customers to participate in covering shipping risk.

This creates a better post-purchase experience while improving overall performance.

Gain Insight Into Shipping Risk and Fraud

Most brands lack visibility into where losses actually occur.

U-PIC provides insight into claim trends, fraud patterns, and shipping risk drivers, helping you:

This gives your team clearer visibility and helps you stay ahead of problems before they grow.
