What is Navidium Shipping Protection?

Back to FAQs

In an effort to provide greater assurance and peace-of-mind to our customers, we are happy to offer Navidium Shipping Protection. Filing a claim with shipping carriers is usually painful, unhelpful and very time consuming. For just 5% of your order value, Navidium Shipping Protection covers you in the event that your package is lost or damaged.

When you purchase Navidum Shipping Protection, your order is covered against loss or damage after filing a simple claim with us. If the claim is approved, we will immediately send you a replacement, no questions asked. We will then spend the time to work with the carrier to recoup any reimbursement (which doesn’t always happen!) Essentially, the risk is transferred to us.

What We Deem as Lost

  • Your tracking shows “in transit”, has not been marked delivered, and has not updated for 10 days since the last update.
  • Your package was delivered by the carrier to the wrong address, even though you provided the correct address at the time of order.
  • Shipments that have been determined lost by the carrier.

What We Deem as Damaged

  • Your order is delivered and the item is materially damaged.
  • Some of your order is missing due to the box/package opening during transit.

Damage is required to be documented with photos and/or video, to our satisfaction before a claim will be approved.

What’s not covered by Navidium Shipping Protection

  • Missing packages or packages returned to sender due to the incorrect or insufficient address information provided at checkout when the order is placed.
  • Delays in transit. When our customer service team is aware of delays due to weather or carrier logistics problems, we reserve the right to classify these packages as ‘delayed’ rather than lost.
  • Unshipped items due to backorders or pre-orders.
  • Orders stuck in customs – we cannot be held responsible for customs delays. Please get in touch with the carrier and pay required customs fees. If you refuse customs payments, we are not liable for any return to sender fees and these will be deducted from your refund.
  • Items that are returned to us for a refund or exchange that are not in a resaleable condition.
  • Packages that have been stolen after delivery.
  • Packages that have already been replaced or refunded under Navidium Shipping Protection.

Terms and Conditions

Navidium Shipping Protection is optional, but by opting-out, we will follow the claims policy with shipping carrier to either locate your parcel or deem it as lost. This may take 6-8 weeks and is at the discretion of the courier. The maximum claim amount with the carrier is typically $100.

  • We reserve the right to deny claims due to insurance fraud, and/or abuse.
  • Shipping protection is non-refundable.

If the carrier has a delivery confirmation at the correct address or photographic evidence that it has been delivered to your property, is with a neighbour or at a secure location, we are not responsible for a refund or replacement.
