Every Shipment, Covered Door to Door

The moment a package leaves your hands, you're exposed. Jewelers Block shipping and shipment coverage is written specifically for jewelry-value goods — protecting domestic and international shipments against loss or damage in transit, from the moment a package is picked up to the moment it's delivered.

Why Standard Carrier Liability Falls Short for Jewelry

Carriers like USPS, FedEx, and UPS set their own liability limits — and those limits were not designed with jewelry-value shipments in mind. A registered mail shipment may carry a declared value allowance that covers a fraction of what's actually inside the package. If something goes wrong in transit and you're relying on the carrier's standard coverage, you may recover far less than the value of what you lost.

 

Jewelers Block shipping coverage is built differently. It's written for the actual value of jewelry shipments, not the minimums a general carrier is willing to assume. Whether you're sending a single high-value piece or a full production run to a trade partner, your coverage reflects what you're actually shipping — not what a carrier's terms are willing to acknowledge.

Domestic and International Shipments Under One Program

Manufacturers and wholesalers move goods across borders regularly. International shipping already carries enough complexity — customs documentation, transit handoffs, extended timelines — without adding uncertainty about whether your insurance actually follows the shipment.

 

Our jewelry shipment coverage extends to both domestic and international transit under the same program. Whether a shipment is moving across state lines or across an ocean, the coverage travels with it. You're not managing separate policies for domestic and international exposure or trying to determine mid-shipment which policy applies. One program, wherever the package goes.

Shipments to and from Trade Shows

Trade show participation creates a concentrated shipping exposure that general cargo policies rarely address well. You're moving high-value inventory on a tight timeline, often to a venue, back to your location, and sometimes to multiple shows in the same season. Traditionally, merchandise should be shipped to and from shows via armored carrier — not standard parcel services.

 

Our Jewelers Block shipping coverage correlates directly with trade show and exhibition coverage for armored carrier shipments, so the protection in place while your goods are on the show floor connects to the coverage in place while those same goods are in transit. If you're shipping to or from a show via armored carrier, that leg of the journey is accounted for.

Common Questions About Jewelry Shipping Insurance

  • Is jewelry covered when shipped through USPS?

    Standard USPS liability limits are not designed for jewelry-value shipments and will rarely cover the full value of what's inside the package. Jewelers Block shipping coverage is written specifically for jewelry goods and applies regardless of which carrier you use.

  • Does my Jewelers Block policy automatically cover shipments?

    Not necessarily — shipping and shipment coverage is a specific component of a Jewelers Block program. We'll make sure your policy is structured to include transit exposure so there are no gaps between your shop coverage and your shipping coverage.

  • Are international shipments covered under the same policy?

    Yes. Our program extends to both domestic and international shipments under the same coverage structure, so you're not managing separate policies or wondering mid-shipment whether your insurance follows the goods across a border.

  • Is shipping to and from trade shows covered?

    This is only covered if it's endorsed onto the policy. When it is, your transit coverage coordinates directly with your trade show and exhibition coverage, so the full journey — from your location to the show floor and back — is accounted for.

  • What types of businesses need jewelry shipping insurance?

    Any jewelry business that ships inventory or client pieces is exposed — manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and designers alike. If goods are leaving your hands and traveling to another location, that transit window carries real risk that standard carrier liability won't fully address.
