Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company releases precautionary jewelry packaging measures in response to a rash of shipping losses.
Recent outbreaks of shipping losses have been affecting Jewelers Mutual policyholders, according to a recent alert issued by the Loss Prevention department of Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company. Address errors, lack of communication between shipper and recipient, and improper packaging are among the list of recent claims. The problem has prompted Jewelers Mutual to release a list of important precautionary packaging measures that companies should follow to prevent such losses. Jewelers Mutual states that safe and deceptive packaging is essential in shipping merchandise safely.
Companies can reduce the chance of shipping losses by following a list of preventative measures recommended by Jewelers Mutual. Begin by packing the merchandise in a medium-sized, inner cardboard box which should then be placed in a strong, oversized shipping box. The package should then be sealed securely and the recipient’s address should be confirmed and clearly marked. The package should not indicate that it is being sent to or from a jewelry-related business. Once the package has been sent, the details of its shipment, its value and the carrier used should be logged in case of a loss. Companies should also buy coverage for the shipment from the carrier, require a signed receipt upon delivery, and inform the recipient when the package is sent.
