Hello, how can we help you?

How does Safe Delivery purchased through Reverb work?

Safe Delivery is only available for postage labels purchased through Reverb.

Quick answer

With Safe Delivery, you’re covered if your item is damaged or lost. Simply head to your Orders page to make a claim and our insurance partners at XCover will work with you to quickly resolve the issue. Safe Delivery can be applied to postage labels at purchase.

To open a Safe Delivery claim:

  • Go to your Orders page and find the order for the item that was damaged or lost.
  • Select the Make a Claim button, where you'll be directed to XCover.

You’ll get an email from XCover with a link to activate your account. Once activated, you can view/file claims and get in touch with XCover.

  • Follow the directions on the page to submit a claim.

XCover may request photo and/or video documentation to help with the evaluation.

Important: If you decline Safe Delivery, you assume responsibility for any loss or damages to your parcel, and your parcel will not carry protection from Reverb, XCover, or the courier.
Safe Delivery guidelines
  • Buyer should keep all original packaging until the claim has been resolved.
  • Claims for damaged shipments should be reported no later than 14 days after delivery.
  • Claims where the status is "not delivered" must be reported no later than 30 days (60 days for international shipments) after the shipped date (shipment accepted by courier).
