Carrier insurance vs NR write-off

How to run thisStock / inventory3 steps
CalculatorCarrier insurance vs NR · Calculator lives in the articleOpen

Carrier insurance $/ship is a known cost. NR rate × AOV is the expected write-off if you skip. Buy when expected loss beats the add-on. Type insurance $/ship, NR rate %, and AOV.

Pair: Carrier insurance vs NR on Stock. Reason fork: damaged / lost vs NR. Fight EV: representment fee vs recovery.

What you type

Insurance $/ship — what the 3PL / carrier charges per parcel for declared value on this lane.

NR rate % — your not-received share on that lane (typed from closed tickets / claims, not a brochure).

AOV $ — average order value at risk when the parcel is NR.

Expected NR loss = NR % × AOV. Buy vs skip = expected loss − insurance $/ship. Positive means buy; negative means skip and write off. Do not invent an NR chip.

What not to do

Do not invent an NR rate. Do not mix bank representment fees into the insurance add-on. Do not treat porch-scan fights as free insurance. Do not average all lanes into one rate when one ZIP drives the NR.
