Dropshipping shipping insurance in the UK

Can anyone advise me of a company in the UK that will insure products that have been dropshipped from 3rd party suppliers to customers.

 

The insurance i would like is for lost, stolen and damaged goods. 

 

Thanks

Hi there, @jonmc1!

 

That is an interesting question for sure! 

 

I had a look around for any possible matches for your query, and I was able to find an insurance provider in the UK that offers Shopify sellers' insurance.

 

I also found another provider that specifically offers dropshipping insurance, though this one is not geared specifically toward Shopify.

 

As these are external, third-party services you would need to contact them directly for confirmation of their coverage, policies, and costs.

 

Could you tell me a bit more about your business and what you're selling?

 

Are you engaging in dropshipping currently, or looking to do so in the future?

Hi Don,

 

Thanks for your message. My site is not live yet (soon will be) but i will be shipping home furnishings, such as vases, cushions and some larger and heavier items such as sofa's and tables.

 

I have just emailed that company that you suggested and hopefully they can give me a quote for some insurance.

 

Thanks again

James

Hi @jonmc1 

 

How will you file insurance for a product you are not shipping?
