Shipping Insurance

[Dominic Wood]

We have just had quotes to ship everything across. They have not included Insurance, which is extra. They have quoted us standard insurance, I guess for loss or damage and an additional cost if you want to insure against mildew or internal damage to electrical items.

Has anyone got any views on whether you need to take out the additional insurance for your electrical stuff and mildew and has anyone got experience of electrical items being damaged internally and not working or mildew everywhere. We are taking a couple of telly's and CD / DVD player etc.

Many thanks

What I and members of our family have experienced is that the main prob is theft- things disappear so make sure you have a very full list of what you sent! When your stuff arrives- check it very carefully and don't assume that everything is ok because it might not be!

I've got to throw this in... A mate of mine had his porn video collection go missing while in shipment. He was gutted!

He did not claim on his insurance!
