Bad, very bad

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Stay away. Horrible service.

I had hundreds of packages insured by this company and as as soon as I filed one claim it was denied on some stupid grounds. Basically your chances to get paid are close to zero.

Worst Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They have overcharged me. I called twice in 3 weeks.

Both times 'They were in a meeting." I got promises both times someone would call me back.

When I called the 2nd time, the receptionist remembered me and said she emailed 5 people the 1st time. It's been a week after the 2nd phone call and I'm still waiting for someone, anyone to get back to me.

HORRIBLE.

I find this company U-PIC Insurance Services to be scandalous and intentional in the finding ways to deny what is there legal obligation.

They are a black eye on the industries and should be no longer allowed to perform in the insurance business. There licence should be terminated as they are aforementioned scandalous and irreputable company. According to Department Record. Enclosed is the more information about this company.

U-pic goes out of their way to not grant claims by asking sellers to violate Amazon's policies in order to get a claim granted.

Horrible Company

Our charity ships through Endicia. But our insurance was cancelled (the only insurance available through Endicia) because, according to U-Pic, they paid out something like $2200 and only received about $1600 in payments from us.

So, if you pay $1000 for car insurance and your car is totalled, they cancel you? The Post Office just lost a $1000 set of books we mailed. With no insurance, we are out $1000. For more than a year now, we have had to ship without insurance.

The Post Office also lost a $500 set of books. Why would anyone need insurance, if they pay more to the insurance company than the claim.

U-Pic's explanation was that they need to make a profit off of every customer. We will need to switch to Stamps.com, which owns Endicia, but uses a different insurer.

U-PIC – HORRIBLE COMPANY

UPDATE: Customer was cancelled from our program back in 2014. After this review was posted he decided to reach out to us to see what his options were.

There are a number of alternate insurance providers that this customer can use to cover his packages. We are under the impression that, after the phone call, the customer now knows that he can obtain the coverage he needs. In regards to his above post, this customer did not have the equivalent of ‘you total your car, they cancel you.’ He had the equivalent of multiple, repeated accidents that put his account at a claim rate that far exceeds the average claim rate for a company. Additionally, all of this customers claims that he submitted documents for were paid.

U-PIC has offered coverage for hundreds of thousands of shippers over our 27 year history. Unfortunately, a website named ‘pissedconsumer.com’ will probably not feature many positive reviews or positive experiences that the overwhelming majority of our customers experience.

U-PIC doesn't cover lost Amazon packages showing delivered by USPS tracking

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Amazon holds the Seller responsible for shipments until they are received by the Buyer. It's not unusual for a customer to say they didn't get their package, although tracking shows delivered.

While in many of these cases, the customer will finally learn that the package was mis-delivered to a wrong address.

We decided to try the U-PIC Insurance Services for our many first class packages valued at less than $40. We've spent several hundred dollars total over the past few months insuring each and every package shipped on a daily basis. A customer recently contacted us regarding a package he hasn't received, although tracking shows "delivered".

U-PIC says they will be liable for "lost property", yet DECLINED our first and only claim since we started using the insurance months ago. We won't be wasting any more money on this insurance.

At U-PIC Insurance, we will be the first to tell you that tracking is not always accurate (give it a try: Call our claims department and say you have a buyer claiming to not receive their package but the tracking shows delivered). There may be a misunderstanding as to what resulted in the denial of your claim.

Please call us at 800-955-**** and ask for the Claims Manager. We would be happy to look into what happened with your claim to make sure that it was resolved properly.

U-pic canceled my insurance- they are terrible

Over the past 4 years, I only filed legitimate claims of packages that the US Postal Service (USPS) either didn't deliver or that arrived damaged, as verified by the addressees. I run a small business and rely on USPS.

U-pic is unethical to cancel insurance that is being legitimately used. What a scam! Avoid them if you can. They should be reported to the Attorney General.

What's the point of paying extra for insurance if they act this way? Keep in mind I have send thousands of packages with no problems, and then when a few were a problem, they cancel my insurance!

U-PIC cancelled my policy

I have been buying insurance through U-PIC for almost 5 years and in past year filed two claims — both of which were due to damage done while the package was in customs. So, they cancelled my policy.

Just like most insurance companies–file a claim and they cancel you right away. Bless their heart, Tami Roman is a doll when trying to get you to sign with the company but rest assured that the minute you file 2 claims her attitude as well as the claims department changes. The response I got, “you should be happy that we covered your claims”………. What does one say to that?

Then not only do they cancel you insurance THEY no longer allow you to process your postage/insurance through Endica.com.

Oh well….. That’s the insurance world for you.
