Why Do You Need Specialized Artwork Insurance?
Art is irreplaceable. No matter if it's from a renowned master or an emerging talent, each artwork is an individual treasure.
An artwork's journey from gallery to home or from an artist's studio to a museum involves risks that standard insurance policies may not cover. These risks can range from physical damage during transit to environmental threats that can occur while the piece is securely stored.
Specialized artwork shipping insurance is about anticipating problems, not reacting to them. When dealing with art, you face unique challenges like valuation fluctuations, conservation needs, and international shipping complications.
A generic policy may leave gaps that could expose collectors and dealers to significant financial risks, especially in the event of unforeseen damages or losses. Cabrella’s customized insurance solutions fill these gaps, providing coverage that moves with the needs of your collection and adapts to the current art landscape.

Beyond the Block: Benefits of Supplemental Shipping Insurance
Those who ship goods to customers and partners, often extend their policy to include shipping insurance. While policies differ, there are specific limitations on value, geographical territory, and the services and carriers that are accepted for coverage to apply.
Value Limitations
Need to ship a $50,000 ring but your block policy only covers up to $25,000? No worries. Cabrella offers coverage up to $150,000 per package. Insure the excess valuation with us and ship without delays or worries. Further, Cabrella policy pays based on sales price as declared as opposed to cost of goods sold.
Other Limitations
Many block policies will have other limitations. Examples include exclusions on certain zip codes (such as 10036 and 90013) or clauses allowing only one shipment to one address in any one day.
International Limitations
Expand your market globally with Cabrella. While block policies often limit coverage to the US and Canada, we have few international restrictions. Sell and ship jewelry worldwide, opening up new business opportunities without worrying about insurance limitations.
Level of Service
Avoid costly overnight shipping with Cabrella. Ship packages ground at a fraction of the cost without sacrificing coverage. Enjoy savings on freight costs while still ensuring comprehensive insurance coverage for various shipping services.
Carrier
With Cabrella, you're not limited to USPS. Choose any major carrier like FedEx or UPS, even regional ones with approval. Get competitive rates and keep your customers satisfied.
Filing a Claim
In the Jewelry industry, the most common type of loss is in shipping. Avoid premium increases, loss of discounts and the loss of your No Claims Bonus by using separate shipping insurance with Cabrella. Safeguard your insurability and keep premiums low by complementing your insurance program with Cabrella.
Beyond Declared Value: Benefits of Supplemental Shipping Insurance
Many shippers will rely on carrier provided declared value to insure their shipments, not knowing the pitfalls of such a strategy. While carriers may differ, most of them will have similar limitations that could hurt you down the line including
Value Limitations
Carriers will often have small print that provide sub-limits of $1,000 or $2,500 as maximum limits for certain commodities. If you are shipping expensive items, make sure your commodity is not excluded in any way. Cabrella provides custom tailored insurance plans that complement the commodity and logistics profile of the shipper, ensuring proper coverage is in place to cover the full value of the item.
Valuation Issues
If (and when) claims are approved, they are approved for the cost of goods as opposed to replacement costs. If you cannot substantiate cost of goods, you will have a problem. With Cabrella, the claims are covered based on the replacement cost of the item or the cost, as chosen and declared by the shipper. This is especially important for retailers and e-commerce companies.
Prohibitive Costs
Carriers will often charge a minimum of over $3.00 per package with a rate of over $1.00 per $100 of declared value, rounding up to the next $100. Such costs are not only exorbitant but also cause over-insurance. With Cabrella, clients can save up to 90% on traditional carrier costs and potentially more, as Cabrella charges a percentage without rounding up.
Coverage
Declared value is nothing more than carrier liability. Sure, the carrier is technically on the hook if they do not deliver or damage a package. But what about things that are out of their control? Acts of God? Porch Piracy? That is where Cabrella comes in.
Claims Process
After paying a pretty penny then navigating the pitfalls of value
& valuation limitations, coverage issues and everything else – you would expect to be paid on your claim. Not so fast.... Carriers tend to have much lengthier and difficult claims processes with much higher denial rates. With Cabrella, you have access to an assigned adjuster, an easy paperless and carrier agnostic system to track your claim, easy digital payout options and much higher claim approval rating
that has nothing to do with the carrier or their determination.
