Protection FAQ
Protection questions
Should I add protection when shipping luggage?
Protection can be useful when the shipment contains higher-value items or when the traveler wants extra review. The right choice depends on contents, declared value, route, and carrier rules.
Why does LuggEasy ask for photos?
Photos can help document item condition, packaging, size, special equipment, and potential issues before the shipment is handed to a carrier.
Is carrier liability the same as insurance?
Not always. Carrier liability and shipment protection can have limits, exclusions, documentation requirements, and claim rules. LuggEasy review helps customers understand the basics before payment.
