Protecting Your Inventory In-Transport

In order to keep the shelves in your Ruidoso, NM area business stocked, you rely on a network of logistical elements. From the warehouse that stores your potential stock to the trucks that carry them across the country, there are multiple links in the chain between you and your inventory. When things go wrong, the right insurance policy from Family Insurance Associates can help you avoid taking a big loss. What policies help protect your goods throughout the shipping process?

  • After you’ve placed your order and payment has been accepted, the goods legally belong to you. If an accident caused your ordered goods to be broken, spoiled, or otherwise damaged, the distributor’s warehouse insurance would cover the costs of your lost inventory.
  • Large shipments represent a big investment for many retailers. Commercial shipping insurance protects your investment while it’s moving along the path towards your storage facilities. Commonly covered events include theft, loss, and damage from weather or accident.
  • Once your order has made it safely to your shelves, your commercial property policy kicks in. If your inventory gets damaged or stolen while it’s on your property, you can claim the replacement value from your policy.
  • Does your business deliver? A commercial auto insurance policy ensures that your costs are covered if a problem occurs while an item is en route. Of course, our driver and vehicles are covered too.
