SkladUSA has mandatory insurance coverage for all FBM orders within the US.

With SkladUSA's insurance coverage, you're covered for the cost of a LOST package throughout the entire delivery process, from our warehouse in any country to the final recipient in the USA. The service fee of $0.20 is automatically added to the order price, the maximum compensation amount is up to $100.

If you require additional shipment insurance against damage or if the order value exceeds $100, you can opt for carrier insurance when creating an order. Please note, however, that this service is only available for deliveries from the warehouse in the United States and does not apply to orders during consolidation transportation enroute to the warehouse in Minnesota.

SkladUSA's additional liability coverage is limited and does not extend to the following scenarios:
- Shipments dispatched from SkladUSA's Minnesota warehouse internationally via USPS International, APC Logistics, DHL Worldwide, or FedEx International.
- Shipments that are returned to the sender for any reason (incorrect address information, the recipient refuses to accept the delivery, etc).
- Shipments that have been marked as "Delivered" in the tracking record.
- Shipments that have been damaged during transportation.

To ensure timely processing of compensation claims, we kindly request that you submit your claim within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery of your SkladUSA shipment. To facilitate the review of your claim, please provide the following necessary documents:
- An invoice from PayPal or a marketplace to verify the transaction details.
- A screenshot of the sale on the marketplace where the order was placed.
- A link to the product purchased.
- A screenshot of the official correspondence with the buyer from the marketplace where the order was placed, in which the buyer confirms that they did not receive the shipment.

P.S. Please be advised that if a lost order is later found/delivered after compensation has been granted, SkladUSA reserves the right to request a reclaim the previously disbursed funds.

We utilize the services of the United States Postal Service (USPS) to ship orders within the United States. If the package cannot be delivered to the intended recipient, it will be returned to the sender, SkladUSA’s warehouse in Minnesota.

Please note that USPS First Class shipping, which is designed for packages weighing up to 434g (16oz), does not include insurance coverage from USPS (only SkladUSA’s mandatory insurance). On the other hand, USPS Priority shipments weighing more than 434g (16+ oz) automatically include insurance coverage of up to $50. Customers have the option to purchase additional insurance from USPS at a rate of $1.10 for every $100 of the maximum insurance premium.

All economy shipments are handed over to USPS within business 24 hours. Please note that are cases where the tracking updates may take up to 1 week to be reflected in the USPS system. We would like to emphasize that SkladUSA cannot be held responsible for any issues related to the shipment or for the lack of updates on a tracking number once it has been transferred to the carrier's possession.

If the status of your package has not been updated for more than 14 days, we kindly advise you to contact SkladUSA support to submit a search request to the carrier. In the event that the search proves unsuccessful, customers may contact SkladUSA support to file a claim for compensation from the carrier or SkladUSA insurance. Please note that this claim must be submitted within 60 days from the USPS service receipt date. To ensure timely processing of your claim, please provide a confirmation of the shipping cost, such as an invoice or transaction screenshot from the marketplace. Please be aware that the compensation process may take between 3 to 6 weeks to be completed.

SkladUSA utilizes FedEx, a global express carrier, to deliver packages to recipients in the United States. When choosing FedEx delivery, it is crucial to ensure that all information provided, including the address, email, and recipient's phone number, is accurate to avoid any potential returns.

The cost of returning packages to APC Logistics and reshipping them to the buyer or for a return shipment (only possible to SkladUSA in Minnesota) is charged separately in addition to the original shipping cost.

SkladUSA uses DHL and Fedex for direct delivery of shipments to recipients. SkladUSA is responsible for the safety of the Sender's packages that are in the Company's branches until the packages are handed over to the carrier. SkladUSA is not responsible for packages handed over by the Sender to the carrier on its own, but assists the Sender in providing the carrier with information about the loss and damage of shipments, as well as related compensation payments by the carrier.

If the sender has opted for the carrier's additional liability service, the compensation amount in the event of loss or damage will be determined using a rate of $26 per 1 kg of actual or volumetric weight. A claim for compensation can be made between 7 and 90 days from the dispatch date. The cost of forwarding a shipment initiated by either the sender or recipient is $18.

If the package requires customs clearance upon arrival in the recipient's country and they refuse to pay the associated fees, the package will either be returned to the Sender or disposed of. It is important to note that the cost of returning the package may be significantly higher than the initial shipping cost, and disposal fees may also apply.

Additionally, if the package is returned to Ukraine and its estimated value exceeds the country's customs limit, customs fees will be charged. The Sender is responsible for covering the expenses of return, disposal, redirection, and customs clearance in addition to the initial shipping cost.

Cost of address correction (fee charged by the carrier):

USPS: $14.95
Fedex/DHL: $18

The packaging of shipments should prioritize safety and suitability for the potential load during transport. The contents should not shift within the packaging, and voids inside the box should be avoided to minimize the risk of deformation.

Additionally, the "Fragile" mark should be used if necessary, and minimal crosswise tape should be applied to the outside of the package. Further information regarding carrier-specific packaging requirements can be found on the relevant pages for Express Delivery and Economy Shipping.

To calculate the volumetric weight, use the formula (L x W x H) / 5000.

The shipping girth formula is (Minimum Side*2 + Middle Side*2 + Largest Side*2).
