Insure First Class Shipments - Shipping Rules

While some USPS shipment methods automatically include insurance in their rate, it is not included in one of their most-used services: First Class packages. Setting up a shipping rule to automatically include Shipsurance on all first-class packages is a great workaround. It will eliminate time spent having to make sure your packages have coverage. Review the ShipSurance Terms of Use to avoid denial of a possible claim.

ShippingEasy cannot add other carrier insurance such as FedEx or UPS via a Shipping Rule. This can be added in the Order Details slide out once you have added a declared value for the shipment.

  1. Go to SETTINGS then go to SHIPPING RULES.

  2. Click the blue Add New Rule button.

  3. In the field Rule Name, enter a name that describes the rule.

    create rule name box

    For example, “First Class Insurance“.

  4. Set the "IF" condition to Requested service and select your logic. For example, we have chosen Is equal to. Then check the USPS (First Class Mail) and the USPS (First Class Mail International Parcels) options.

    if the requested service is equal to first class mail international

    • Requested service | Is equal to | First Class, USPS (First Class Mail International Parcels)

  5. Set the "THEN" action to Set shipment insurance based on order total.

    then set shipment insurance based on total

    • Set shipment insurance based on order total

  6. Save your new rule.

Tip

If you have existing orders that you would like to use this rule on, go to the ORDERS page, select all of your orders, and then use the More button and select Rerun Shipping Rules. Refresh your browser until all orders have passed the rules and reappear on the ORDERS page.

More dropdown - rerun shipping rules
