What is S&S Protect?

The S&S Protect fees differ depending on the destination country, for more information please click here. 

How can I activate S&S Protect?

To protect your shipment, you need to enable the S&S Protect on your account through shopandship.com, following the below steps:

  1. Log in your account

  2. Go to My Addresses

  3. Check the S&S Protect box for each address

How much are the S&S Protect fees?

The S&S Protect fees are calculated according to the value of the package invoice. If the value of the package is above USD 100, the fee is USD 1 (or equivalent in local currency) for each USD 100 or part of that amount. For example, the S&S Protect fee for a package value of USD 500 will be USD 4; a package worth USD 250 will incur a USD 2 S&S Protect fee.

Packages valued under USD 100 incur no fee as we automatically cover them for loss or damage.

Please refer to S&S Protect here.

What is the maximum value I can be compensated for by this service?

The maximum value that can be covered by S&S Protect is up to USD 2,500. Please contact your local Shop & Ship office for more information on S&S Protect for packages worth over USD 2,500.

Can I pay my S&S Protect fees online?

Yes, you can.

When will S&S Protect be applied to my packages?

All packages arriving to your account at our origin facilities, after S&S Protect is activated on your profile, will be eligible for the service.

Can I protect my shipment while in transit

If you did not activate S&S Protect before the package arrives at our facilities, it will not be eligible for S&S Protect.

Where does S&S’s liability start?

As some courier companies deliver in bulk and do not wait for the physical scanning of each shipment received, in this case our liability starts once your shipment has been scanned in at our origin facility and the shipment has been allocated to your S&S account. We are not liable for the delivery to our origin facility and we do not accept POD’s from bulk deliveries, as these POD’s are unreliable.

When is a protected shipment considered damaged and eligible for compensation?

Shop & Ship services state we are only liable for physical damage/loss that occurs while the shipment is in our custody.

How much will the S&S Protect fee be if the shipment was received without an invoice?

The S&S Protect fee will be calculated based on the estimated value. The estimated value will be subject to Shop & Ship’s sole discretion.

How can I apply S&S Protect on shipments with a value above USD 2500?

Shipments with a value over USD 2500 (or equivalent in local currency) will be put automatically on hold and you will be notified by email. In such cases, please contact your local Shop & Ship office to have the detailed procedure.

How can I claim a lost or damaged shipment covered under the S&S Protect?

You can claim the package by contacting your local Shop & Ship office.

Is there a timeline to submit a claim for my lost/damaged shipment?

Any claim for loss or damage must be notified in writing to Aramex within seven (7) days of delivery of the Goods or of the date upon which the Goods should have been delivered.

When will I be compensated for my lost/damaged shipment?

If all the necessary documents and evidence is provided at the time of submitting the claim, it can take up to 10 business days to process the claim and compensate you for your lost or damaged shipment. Please note that for damaged shipments, the item itself is to be returned to S&S as evidence.

Are Shop & Ship shipping charges and S&S Protect fees included in the compensation?

Shipping charges will be included in the compensation if the customer has already paid them. However, S&S Protect fees will not be reimbursed to the customer.

Are there any exceptions or restrictions on S&S Protect?

There are certain cases in which the S&S Protect will not be applicable. S&S will not be liable for damages resulting from the following:

  • Insufficient or unsuitable packaging of the shipment by the merchant
