What’s the story: Discover how to reduce the risks associated with porch piracy.

Why it matters: Porch piracy is on the rise so protecting your shipments is more vital than ever.

According to UPS Capital’s Annual State of Shipping Study, two in five merchants stated that porch piracy has become more of an issue for their business in 2022 than in previous years.

The good news: there are also more opportunities for your business to create a seamless delivery experience and provide exceptional customer service in the event that something goes wrong.

How to Reduce Porch Piracy Risk

  • Coordinate deliveries with your customers so they are home when package delivery is expected.
  • Offer an alternate delivery location or ship to a business.
  • Cover your shipments with InsureShield® shipping insurance offered through UPS Capital Insurance Agency, Inc. Not only will it protect your customer’s packages, it also protects your business reputation and customer relationships.

With an easy-to-use online claim portal, you work directly with our team when you file a claim, rather than going through the carrier. And most claims are paid in days not weeks helping make the claims process efficient for both you and your customers.
