As I’m sure most people would, I almost just hit Checkout but happened to see the text below. I am also sure I would have caught/removed it from the check-out page but maybe not. I did complete my order without ‘package protection’ but am sending an email and probably won’t order again unless their response is acceptable.
Edit: I’ll probably send the email after I get shipping confirmation :)


Ya, I’ve seen this trend of package protection being available more and more, but this is by far the scummiest I’ve seen. This IMHO is almost criminal.
It could be criminal, of we actually had a functioning government ☹️
I’ve seen this exact same UI on several other sites so unfortunately it appears to be a trend
Price gouging and usury weren’t enough. Now they want protection money.
Capitalism means seeing all the complaints about the Post Office, FedEx, UPS, etc losing packages and thinking “I wonder if I can monetize that fear?”
