Tune Insurance Malaysia Berhad (“Tune Protect Malaysia”) announced its collaboration with BOXKU, a Malaysian mobile app based parcel consolidator and the shipping solutions provider in Malaysia for China e-commerce platforms and retailers such as Taobao, JD.com, and Tmall, among others.
Through the partnership, BOXKU offers online shoppers the ease and convenience of purchasing the Company’s consignment insurance for their parcels on BOXKU mobile app. Premium starts from as low as RM1 depending on the sum insured of the parcels, with coverage value of up to RM250,000.
