UPS Declared Value: How it works

UPS automatically provides a loss or damage benefit of $100 for all packages. Of course, shippers have the option of delivering additional charges to declare a higher price for their shipments. ShipSaving would like to remind you that UPS's Declared Value is not insurance.

What is the cost of UPS declared value?

As ShipSaving mentioned earlier, UPS is free for any declared value up to $100. However, if it is in the range of $100 ＜ n ≤ $300, $3.45 will be charged. If it is greater than $300, $1.15 will be charged for every $100 of declared value.

Although UPS can pay for the contents of a package up to a certain amount, UPS has initiatives due to the wide variety of quality and types of items.
