Sherman Oaks, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- Discount Shipping Insurance (DSI), the leading provider of 3rd party shipping insurance, has added International coverage to their Single Parcel Shipper Program. Users can visit purchase instant coverage with their credit card for individual packages while in transit with the major shipping carriers. Covered carriers include Canada Post, DHL, FedEx, UPS, and the U.S. Postal Service.
DSI has always offered the ability to purchase shipping insurance policies online; however, coverage was only available for shipments sent to the United States and Canada. "Extending coverage to a select group of countries was a natural extension of the service," said Ariel Shmorak, Vice President of DSI. "Our users requested this additional coverage, so we immediately offered the service." Covered countries include: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
DSI also offers open policies for frequent shippers. These policies cover all of the insured's shipments, rather than purchasing individual coverage for single shipments from their website. Policy holders, as well as one time coverage holders, benefit from DSI's low insurance rates, as well as their online claims management solution.
