insured shipping

Covered package transport

Insured shipping is a delivery option that includes coverage against loss or damage during transit.

The seller or carrier compensates the buyer if the package is lost, stolen, or arrives damaged.

Standard shipping often includes no such protection, so insured shipping costs more but reduces risk for valuable items: I always pay for insured shipping when ordering electronics.
