Using a third-party courier doesn't mean your goods are fully covered. Here's why goods-in-transit insurance still matters. [Cover Buddies](https://www.coverbuddies.com/en/knowledge-hub/author/cover-buddies) Oct 1, 2026 --- **The short answer** Yes — marine cargo insurance (often called goods-in-transit insurance in this context) can cover your goods regardless of who physically transports them, including third-party couriers or logistics providers. The courier's own liability is usually limited and separate from your own cargo cover. **Why this comes up** Businesses often assume that if a courier loses or damages a shipment, the courier's own insurance will cover the full value. In practice, courier liability is typically capped at a fairly modest amount per shipment, which can leave a significant gap if the goods are worth more than that. **What to check in your policy** Check what your courier's terms actually promise in the event of loss or damage, and compare that figure against the real value of what you're shipping. If there's a gap, your own goods-in-transit cover is what closes it, independent of whichever courier you use. **Work with Cover Buddies Today!** We can help you set up cover that protects your goods regardless of which courier or logistics provider you use to move them.
