At Jumia Delivery, we understand that some of your shipments are particularly valuable or important. To provide you with more options and greater peace of mind for your deliveries within Nigeria, we are pleased to introduce Advanced Insurance, an optional service for your Jumia Delivery packages.
What is Advanced Insurance?
Advanced Insurance is an optional protection service you can choose for your Jumia Delivery shipments for an additional fee. It offers an enhanced level of coverage for your package against loss or damage while it’s being handled by Jumia Delivery, beyond our standard liability. This service is designed to give you extra security when you’re sending items that require a higher degree of protection.
Why Should I Consider Advanced Insurance for My Shipments?
Opting for Advanced Insurance provides several key benefits, especially when shipping valuable or critical items:
- Increased Peace of Mind: Knowing your shipment has an extra layer of financial protection allows you to ship high-value goods with greater confidence.
- Higher Coverage Limits: Advanced Insurance typically offers a higher coverage value compared to our standard terms, providing better financial recompense in the unlikely event of loss or damage. (Full details on coverage limits are available from your PUS agent or our FAQ page.)
- Flexibility and Control: You have the choice to add this service on a per-shipment basis, depending on the nature and value of the items you are sending.
How Do I Opt for Advanced Insurance in Nigeria?
Adding Advanced Insurance to your Jumia Delivery shipment is simple:
- Prepare Your Package: As usual, ensure your item is securely packed for shipping.
- At the PUS/VDO: When you take your package to your Jumia Pick-Up Station (PUS) or Vendor Drop-Off (VDO) for shipping via Jumia Delivery, inform the Jumia agent before your shipment is processed that you wish to opt for Advanced Insurance.
- Declare Value: The agent will require you to declare the value of the item(s) being shipped. It’s important to provide an accurate value.
- Fee Confirmation & Calculation: The agent will confirm the additional fee for the Advanced Insurance. For Nigeria, this is calculated as a fixed amount of NGN 1,500 plus 5% of the declared value of your item(s).
- Payment: The Advanced Insurance fee will be added to your total shipping cost, payable upfront at the PUS/VDO.
- Confirmation: Ensure your receipt or shipping documentation reflects that Advanced Insurance has been applied to your package and notes the declared value.
Important Notes (Nigeria):
- Advanced Insurance is an optional service, and the fee (NGN 1,500 + 5% of declared value) is charged in addition to the standard shipping cost.
- Specific terms, conditions, precise coverage limits, and the list of items eligible (or ineligible) for Advanced Insurance apply. Please ask the PUS agent for these details or refer to our Website.
