Discount Shipping Insurance (DSI) Launches Parcel Insurance Program for Auction Trading Assistants and Drop-Off Stores

New parcel insurance program allows eBay trading assistants and drop-off stores to save up to 80% on shipping insurance.

April 22, 2004 -- Discount Shipping Insurance (DSI), leaders in transit shipping insurance, have launched a program geared specifically towards eBay trading assistants and drop-off stores. The new Trading Assistant Program offers highly discounted rates on parcel insurance coverage to the emerging market of online trading assistants and bricks-and-mortar middlemen.

Many people have items that they wish to sell via auction but do not have the means to do so. They are either intimidated by the process or just dont have the time. With the emergence of drop-off stores and local trading assistants, these people can hand over their items to experienced auction sellers and receive a large percentage of the final selling price. DSIs new program will allow these middlemen the opportunity to save money on shipping items on consignment as well as enjoy a hassle-free claims process.

The first benefit for users of the new program is reduced policy rates. DSI knows that selling frequency may fluctuate, but the rates offered will be up to 80% off of the carrier rates right from that start. Secondly, DSI will provide package inserts that will assure the recipients of the packages that they were insured by a trusted third party. Next, DSI will provide custom usage reports based on individual consigners activity. Lastly, with DSIs integration with most shipping software solutions, it is easy to report the shipment manifests. If the trading assistant needs to report their shipments manually or does not have a software solution capable of generating a shipping manifest, DSI will work with them on a one to one basis.
