When should I insure my orders?

When considering the business case for insuring packages, a cost and risk analysis can help cement your decision. This formula, based on your own data and loss history, may prove useful:

[ Number of shipments lost or damaged (#) / Total number of shipments (#) ] x Average order value ($) > Average insurance cost ($) per item

For example, let's assume:

You sell leather shoes with an average order value of $200
and ship 100 pairs per month
with a loss ratio of 1 shipment out of the 100
Formula: 1/100 x $200 = $2
RESULT: if it costs less than $2 on average to insure an order, it makes business sense to insure
