Package Insurance

Overview

A customer calls you to complain that an item he ordered from you was damaged in shipping. Because you like having customers, you offer to send another one. Obviously, you can’t make a living sending free products with free shipping every time something gets broken in transit, so how do you protect yourself? The answer: package insurance.
