LaughingHorse Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi!Back again.We discussed at one time, having the ability to add the insurance rates from USPS. It is still not there. Currently we are losing from 2.75-$10 per shipment due to not being able to charge for Insurance.For example, one item sells for 342.10 Cube Cart gives a rate of $9.60 which does not include insurance ($5.80). I did add $2.90 in the field "Handling Cost" to cover the signature.Is there some code I can add to the USPS module that will grab and add the insurance charges from the USPS website to the shipping US and International?Or, worst case scenario, is there a way to just add an additional percentage (for now) to the USPS rates, like 3% of the item total.I think since USPS is giving the info from their site, and CubeCart is receiving that info it is logical to be able to include that in what we are charging for the shipping.I also tried a work around of creating a tax class "Insurance and signature", but unfortunately, it can only apply to one country, not everything.My ideal scenario or set up would be something like the attached screen shots (long term), but is there anything I can do in the short term?Thanks!

Dirty Butter Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Has this been written up as an Enhancement request on GitHub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaughingHorse Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 If I remember correctly, you had put in a request for something like this about 7 or 8 months ago. But since there is nothing I figured someone may know a way around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Glad YOU have a good memory! https://github.com/cubecart/v6/issues/520 Perhaps it would help if you and others would comment on the GitHub request, so CC would see this as a higher priority than it currently seems to be.

cginca Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Has anything been done with this? It's pretty much a deal killer for me switching to CubeCart, because of the cost of insurance. I need it for UPS and USPS, at a minimum. I know osCommerce has a working mod for it, if someone wants to see how it's done. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cginca Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It is disappointing that insurance is not available on any shipping modules. I've had to abandon CC because of it. Too bad, because other than that, it was ideal for my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
