UPS Customized Declared Value for Wine programme now available for French shippers

UPS Capital has announced that the UPS Customized Declared Value for Wine program is now available to vintners and wine shippers in France. The programme offers a range of services, including packaging consulting, and custom pricing for shipping and protection in the event of  loss or damage.

“In the past, businesses have faced many challenges when shipping wine, including cork push, seepage, temperature issues and breakage,” said Jorge Navarro, vice president of UPS Capital Europe. “The UPS Customized Declared Value Program for Wine will change the way businesses approach shipping their wine, reducing their risk all in one stop.”

If customers use packaging supplied by a UPS-approved provider, they can receive a full refund of the product’s retail cost and the transport costs incurred if there are damages.

Customers get automatic protection up to €500, but if the shipment has a higher value, additional coverage can be added up to the full retail value of the goods.

After Italy, France is the second country to have access to the UPS Customized Declared Value for Wine programme.
