I have not heard of that company.
I have my equipment insured with my home owners policy.

Is that for sending packages? as name suggests. Wrong country for me - our Royal Mail has insurance options based on 'value' of contents. I think paypal has a similar scheme when sending to internet purchasers.

For camera kit - best and cheapest option is to add it to your 'All Risks' section of your house contents insurance. (photograph it and keep serial numbers, invoice/receipts etc)

I don't know that company but I insure my cameras and most other electronics I have with squaretrade.com. They are not expensive very reliable and quick in fixing replacing or refunding for equipment

I had a fz1000 lumix that hit the ground and knocked one of the lens elements loose. Square Trade said to sen it to them for repair. three days later they sent email telling me the camera was not repariable. I got a check in the mail from square trade for the full price of the camera and I was a very happy camper.

That has been my experience with them. No hassles. No hidden stuff. And they respond quickly

I used Travelers when I had a professional studio. The Red Umbrella logo. Not even sure if they're still in business, but at that time it was a highly regarded company.

Regardless of which company you choose, my advice is don't be cheap. If better coverage (or a better reputation) means a higher premium, pay it!
