At Shippo, we’re committed to making your shipping experience seamless and secure. That’s why we’ve added a callout that alerts you on the label purchase screen with the message, “Your shipment is at higher risk.” By analyzing patterns from past shipments in the US on Shippo’s platform, we identify delivery areas that may pose a higher chance of lost, stolen, or damaged packages compared to other US destinations.
How Shippo Assesses Shipment Risk
At Shippo, we empower your shipping decisions with a sophisticated, data-informed system. By drawing on a wealth of shipping insights, we pinpoint shipments with delivery zip codes that have had relatively more lost, stolen, or damaged packages when compared to other zip codes. This allows us to highlight shipments that might benefit from additional care or oversight, giving you the knowledge you need before your packages hit the road.
What You Can Do
Seeing this alert? Here are some steps you can take to protect your shipment:
- Select a secure shipping option: Choose a method with added security, like signature confirmation, insurance, or detailed tracking.
- Double-check the address: Ensure the delivery address is accurate to prevent misdelivery.
Why This Matters
Our mission is to empower you with the insights you need to ship confidently. By flagging higher-risk shipments, we help you take proactive steps to protect your packages and keep your business running smoothly.
