If shipper requires more protection, the shipper must declare a higher declared value amount for protection and pay the applicable charge. The minimum declared value that may be purchased is $200.00 USD per package and the maximum is $1,000.00 USD per package. Please refer to our Alacarte Surcharges and Fees Schedule for more details. Signatures upon delivery are required for all declared values over $100.00 USD. Shipper has the responsibility and burden to prove actual loss, damage, delay, wrong or failure of delivery, or incorrect information to receive a payment for the declared value from Alacarte. Alacarte reserves the right to refute any claims for declared value. Shipper assumes all responsibility for completing the shipping information, including any additional declared value protection. Once entered into our system, we cannot change the information concerning declared value on the shipping document. Please refer to the Claims section of this Service Guide for further information and the process for which shipper must request any Declared Value.    

The maximum amount of declared value available for purchase is $1,000.00 USD per package.

Shipper recognizes that our declared value is not insurance, and shipper assumes all risk above the declared value of any package for any loss or damage of the package, any delay, wrong delivery or failure of delivery of the package, or any incorrect information provided by Alacarte regarding the shipment or package. Shipper assumes all responsibility for identifying and purchasing insurance from a third-party that may mitigate such risk.

All claims for declared value are subject to our Limitations of Liability. Alacarte is not responsible for any declared value claims resulting from the improper packaging. Shipper assumes all responsibility for any loss, damage, delay, wrong delivery or failure of delivery of the package, or any incorrect information occurring because of improper packaging. If Alacarte pays a claim for declared value, Alacarte reserves the right to pick up the package(s), at which time the package(s) becomes the property of Alacarte. Alacarte does not accept any declared value claims if the package(s) was shipped by a third-party shipper at any time.  

Alacarte requires shippers to prepack their own packages. We do not prepack any items on your behalf. The shipper is responsible for complying with all laws, rules, regulations, and/or ordinances, whether federal, state, local governing the packaging, labeling, and/or marking of packages tendered to Alacarte for delivery. All packages require a clearly written waybill, either hand-written or printed, that must include: the name of recipient, whether a business or individual; name of contact person for the recipient if applicable; recipient’s complete and accurate address, city, state and zip code; and shipper’s complete and accurate address, city, state and zip code. If service type is unmarked on the package, shipper authorizes Alacarte to ship as Express 10:30 a.m. Priority Overnight and shipper will be responsible for all applicable rates. If a C.O.D. is to be collected, the package(s) must be clearly marked to indicate the same. Package(s) must be packed for all possible conditions in transporting such as temperature and pressures changes. Blood, urine, and non-infectious specimens must be in a leak proof shipping system consisting of watertight and an absorbent type packaging. When packaging materials are not otherwise provided by Mailrun, shipper must use package-appropriate materials in good condition (i.e. corrugated boxes), that allow for enough cushion or protection when needed. Items that cannot be boxed such as auto parts, tires, luggage, and/or comparable items, must be clearly labeled, and such items must not have any exposed sharp edges, parts, or materials that may cause harm.

Alacarte does not require a signature for delivery unless the shipment is upgraded to our signature service and/or more than $100 of declared value is purchased for the package. In most cases, however, we will attempt to obtain a signature upon delivery. Unless the package is upgraded to our signature service and/or more than $100 of declared value is purchased for the package, we are not liable if we fail to get a signature.
