Nearlythere1 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, I can't recommend an insurer as I didn't get any, there are quite a few threads on here ref insurance, I think that the general consensus appears to be to source your own rather than the expensive "shippers own" insurance. Some, after trying to claim for broken items have said that they wished they hadn't bothered. Which is what I did, hopefully all will be good, but as my stuff is still en route it's difficult to say whether it was a good move or not, as yet. Fingers crossed though.. Be very careful of the small print in them though, as people have also found that they couldn't claim for things that they thought were included and found the claiming process a nightmare. Best of luck, I'm sure someone will be along to give you a name soon.. :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyv Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Letton Percival. We paid £275 for £20k of cover plus IPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstyLP Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 When comparing make sure to check out the terms and conditions and include any excess, the type of cover (i.e. New for old OR value including depreciation), time limit for claims, any arrangement fees on top of the premiums, any limitations to the inclusions (i.e. how old electrical equipment is to be covered for mechanical derangement) to make sure you are getting the best deal for the right level of cover for you.

fosseboy Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 We used Insure Your Move. Great advice before about values and good service when we had an really unexpected claim. Robinsons lost the pendulum (from a crate) to a 200 year old clock and that was a real hassle and costly to replace in Perth WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieb7 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi Pomtastic, Do you have any knowledge of Clark and Rose? Haven't seen many reviews on them, but we were considering them as well. Just trying to get some feedback on how they rate. Cheers EddieB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
