Confidence in posting

I discovered this company when I realised that for years I've been posting items through different companies that hadn't actually offered cover for items I was posting. Evri lost one of my parcels recently and Secursus paid out thank you. I have now posted lots of parcels valued from £40-£5000 and feel confident during their delivery due to well priced insurance cover.

Why do I give SECURSUS 5 stars? Secursus behaves absolutely correctly towards its customers.

I sell furniture and home decorations.
Unfortunately, damage in transit happens again and again, so it's good to have a partner who doesn't unnecessarily lengthen the damage process.
For this reason I give it 5 stars and say thanks again to the SECURSUS team for the quick handling of the transport damage in the USA.

Overall good and they paid out but confusing claims process

The process was quite long and confusing and you have to make sure you take photos of everything as you will need all the info if you claim, However they did answer questions promptly and did pay the claim. It is the only company I found to insure fragile items.

Thank you for your feedback! You can expedite your claim process by sending us your standard packaging before insuring (if you use the same for each shipment) so you don't have to take photos every time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you very much.

Paid out promptly enough

A few hoops to jump through but paid out promptly enough. I have no worries about using them for my business again .

Will certainly use again

I have been insuring through Securus for quite a while but had my first claim after UPS lost a package. The amount of paperwork needed is a little exhaustive when the package has been confirmed lost by the courier company but once we got past that, the claim process was handled very efficiently by Marie. I would certainly not hesitate to use again in the future.

Very disappointing service.

Very disappointing service.
After 2 positive experiences with Secursus they have lost all of our trust by refusing payment and not adhering to their own Terms & Conditions.

We are now having to take the case to the Financial Ombudsman and relay Secursus T&C's and clarify why our claim is valid.

In short, our delivery failed due to the negligence of the courier. We didn't buy postage with a signature, however this is irrelevant according to their Terms:

8.2. The requirements relating to the shipping methods
The goods or Packages must shipped over to the Recipient against the Recipient's signature. The shipping label must be attached to the Package with full contact details of the Recipient including first name, last name, phone number, full address, zipcode, city, and country. If the Recipient or the sender agrees with the Carrier that the Delivery of the goods or the Package be delivered without signature, to a third party, in his/her (or their) absence, in his/her (or their) mailbox or in any other place, it stops being covered by the Parcel Insurance. If the negligence comes from the Carrier, the Parcel Insurance still applies.

Note. IF THE NEGLIGENCE COMES FROM THE CARRIER, THE PARCEL INSURANCE STILL APPLIES.

Secursus, don't agree that a 24hr tracked delivery that was inevitably delivered to the wrong address after 23 days was negligent.

Absolutely ridiculous and now a complete waste of our time due to the case having to being sent to FOS for a fair review.

Dear Ryan

Your first two claims were paid in full, but your last one was for a shipment we don't cover because it was sent without a signature (you used Royal Mail Tracked 24 No Signature).

First of all, we're sorry that you took down the good reviews you gave us before writing this bad one about a shipment that we can't cover.

As you pointed out, when the signature is required, we do cover the carrier's mistake.
Again, there is no valid coverage if you don’t send your parcel with signature.

Even though this claim is not covered, we have already offered you a commercial gesture.
We also offered to look over our terms and conditions with you.

If you need help, please let us know.

With best wishes,

The Team at Secursus

Superb service 5 Stars!

Superb service, had a package go missing after sending by royal mail (suspected stolen)- it was a macbook pro, so not a cheap item at all. Secursus were very helpful, Many thanks to Marie and the team.

10/10

I use Secursus regularly for high-value items & find them to be much cheaper than other insurance co's - I found myself having to claim for a damaged guitar recently & Marie was very professional, guiding me through the claims process & issuing my claim payment in a very timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend 10/10

Service experience

I have used secursus but never had the need to do anything else than to insure a parcel.
Unfortunately, in one of those shipments I had an issue (they lost the parcel).
The situation with the courier (DHL Parcel) was an absolute mess, they would give contradictory opinions and status.
Secursus did an extra effort to try to understand the situation and in the end everything worked out. For me it was absolutely amazing!

Refunded in full !

I shipped a rather valuable package from the UK to USA - and whilst the package did arrive quickly, it had been completely destroyed by the courier company and the contents ruined. I had insured the package with secursus and I did eventually receive a full refund for the insured amount - make sure you read and understand all the terms and conditions and all the packaging requirements - and take pleanty of photographic evidence of the contents and packaging before and after sending etc.
I will most definitely be using their services in the future!

I sent 20 kg

I sent 20 kg. parcel, which was packed carton in carton and between the device and the carton foam, as well as between the two cartons 5cm. foamy I didn't expect any problems in transit, but I was surprised when the recipient informed me that the item was broken. The courier company refused my payment after a long wait. Secursus examined the case in detail with all necessary documents and photographs. I am satisfied with Secursus' communication and solution.
My insurance claim has been processed successfully.
I highly recommend this company to insure a parcel.

OUTRIGHT FRAUD

I insured a package with these scammers, when I tried to make a claim they listed multiple reasons why they wouldn't pay.

THEY WERE AWARE OF THESE CONDITIONS WHEN I MADE THE CONTRACT YET THEY ACCEPTED IT ANYWAY.

Nowhere on their website do they mention these absolute showstoppers, in fact they make it sound like they do service them.

Do not do business with these lying, thieving, [REDACTED]

The courier insurance rates were very high
Secursus were very straight forward to deal with and reasonably priced
Fortunately there were no issues with transportation but it gave piece of mind to know they were insured

I have used Secursus twice to insure fine watches which were shipped to delivery in Mexico and Switzerland. The website was easy to use and I took pictures prior to shipment as requested. The buyers were satisfied with the service. Luckily, no issues arose with delivery. Secursus enabled me to secure twice reasonably priced third party insurance.

Peace of Mind

A small price to pay for the peace of mind when shipping high value items within the UK courier network.

A high value item disappeared without…

A high value item disappeared without trace in September and it took all too long to get Percelforce to confirm that it was indeed nowhere to be seen so I could pass that info onto Secursus. To keep this brief ultimately Securuss did indeed pay and my comms with them were straightforward.
Something to watch though.. I entered my claim in £GBP but my payout was some 10% down. Maybe [as it seems the Securus's site defaults to Euros] that perhaps I should have made my claim in Euros.. but then would I get paid out in £GBP or Euros? Either that was the case or their conversion rate is poor. In any case it was a massive relief to be paid out the vast majority of my loss and I will be using Secursus again possibly this week for another high value consignment.
One last thing, don't forget to take and upload images of what you are sending as per the small print.

Scam website- DO NOT USE

Scam website - have used for multiple deliveries and each time I had an issue they introduced a new rule that was not mentioned upfront so my claim was deemed invalid each time for a different reason despite documenting as they mentioned when I sent it.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Hello Davin,

Your review contains false information and is defamatory.

Here are the specific details:

1/ You insured four shipments with our company and filed two claims.

For the initial claim, we discover that you insured your shipment more than seven days after it was shipped, when it was already reported as lost.

Comparable to insuring your car after crashing it.
This is known as insurance fraud or extreme carelessness (we hope it’s the latest).

You opened the second claim past our 14-day deadline.

Each time your spoke with our team you seemed to not be aware of our Terms and Conditions and Shipping Instructions. By insuring your shipments, you attested to having read and followed our Terms and Instructions.

Evidently, you have not read anything, as you are unfamiliar with our most fundamental terms.

You state in your review, "I have used them for multiple deliveries, and each time I had a problem, they introduced a new rule."

Your sentence made it abundantly clear to the reader that we would introduce new rules solely to avoid paying your claim, which is, of course, a complete fabrication and utterly defamatory.

We do not introduce "new rules"; the T&CS are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on our website, and they have not changed while you were using the service.

We take defamation very seriously, so please update your review and remove the false statements within seven days or we will take legal action against you.
