Shipping Protection

At Kibiwa, the secure transportation of your consolidated goods is our top priority. We understand that every item you send represents an investment, and that’s why we offer a robust shipment protection plan designed to minimize your worries.

Your Protection Starts Here: Our Base-Level Coverage

Automatic Insurance for Shipping Only: Rest assured knowing that all of your Shipping Only orders are automatically insured for up to $100 in value. This provides a strong foundation of protection against unexpected loss or damage while your goods are in transit.

Tailored Protection: Upgrading Your Coverage

  • Simple and Flexible: When the value of your shipment exceeds $100, you have the option to tailor your protection with additional insurance. Just reach out to our dedicated customer care team at [email protected] to swiftly arrange the coverage you need.
  • Affordable Peace of Mind: We keep your costs in mind. Additional insurance is calculated at only 5% of your shipment’s value, with a minimum charge of $5.00. This means you only pay for the precise level of protection that suits your shipment.

Understanding Exclusions: Safety and Responsibility

To maintain the highest safety standards and keep insurance costs accessible, there are specific item types we’re unable to insure:

  • Prohibited Items: Our commitment to safety means that items listed on our Prohibited Items list cannot be insured. Please review this list carefully.
  • Fragile Goods: Highly breakable items such as glass, ceramics, porcelain, and stoneware carry an increased risk of damage.
  • Liquids & Items Prone to Melting: Liquids (including fragrances and lotions) and items susceptible to melting during transit are excluded for safety reasons.

Why Do These Exclusions Exist?

  • Prioritizing Safety: Our priority is ensuring the safe transport of all shipments, minimizing risks to your items and other goods in transit.
  • Maintaining Cost-Effectiveness: By excluding particularly high-risk items, we can provide affordable insurance options to the majority of our customers.

Protecting Your Excluded Items: Alternative Solutions

  • Seller Responsibility: When purchasing fragile, liquid, or meltable goods, always inquire about insurance options offered directly by the seller.
  • Specialized Shipping: For highly sensitive items, consider carriers specializing in transporting fragile goods or those offering temperature-controlled environments.

We’re devoted to delivering your shipments in perfect condition. Here’s how we fulfill that promise:
