MBE SafeValue: Comprehensive Coverage for High-Value Goods, Art, and Business Shipments

A high-end smartphone, a unique work of art, or critical business equipment: some items represent far more than a standard shipment. They carry real value - whether financial or sentimental - and demand a level of security that matches their importance.

At Mail Boxes Etc. (MBE), security begins with expert professional packaging. However, even with the best conditioning, transit risks remain. That is why we developed MBE SafeValue, a specialized coverage range designed to protect your most precious assets from the moment they are entrusted to your MBE Center until their final delivery.

At the core of this range, MBE SafeValue provides dedicated protection for valuable items. Depending on your specific requirements, three complementary solutions are available: Essential, Art, and 4Biz.

Frequently Asked Questions about MBE SafeValue

What is the difference between MBE SafeValue and standard carrier liability?

Standard carrier liability usually offers very limited coverage. MBE SafeValue provides superior protection calculated on the real value of your shipment, with far more advantageous terms (including coverage for invoiced packing costs).

Can I insure a parcel that is already packed?

Yes, MBE SafeValue solutions can cover a pre-packed parcel, provided that your MBE Center certifies that the packaging complies with the service requirements.

What exactly does MBE SafeValue cover?

Depending on the chosen formula, MBE SafeValue covers loss, theft, and damage occurring during transit, from the moment MBE takes charge until delivery. Compensation terms and declared value limits depend on the selected category (Essential, Art, or 4Biz) and adhere to the limits defined in the policy.

Does MBE SafeValue Essential cover international shipments?

Yes. MBE SafeValue Essential can cover your shipments both domestically and internationally, provided the destinations are not listed as excluded zones in the insurance policy. Your MBE Center will confirm destination eligibility before shipping.

MBE SafeValue - Essential, Art, and 4Biz - is subject to conditions, limits, and exclusions defined by the current insurance policy.

Coverage validity depends notably on professional packaging of goods, value declaration, and destinations authorized by the policy.

Full details, including compensation caps, deductibles, exclusions, insured obligations, and geographic restrictions, are detailed in the General, Additional, and Special Terms and Conditions of the MBE SafeValue service.
