Container insurance

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

we are in a process of sorting out insurance for our 20ft container from UK to Brisbane.

 

We have picked PSS as our removal company, but now deciding if we should go with their insurance too or go with a separate company(Letton Percival).

 

So cost wise we are definitely inclined towards Letton as they are lot cheaper than PSS, BUT what worries me is that if we go with someone else, we have to sign a statement from PSS, that we have an insurance with someone else and therefore they pretty much hold no responsibility whatsoever for our stuff??!! So that being the case, I am worried that they will perhaps not be as careful when packing/handling/loading our stuff as any claims will not go through them...

 

Someone was saying that PSS use a separate insurance company, so you have to sort out any claims with the insurance company directly yourself anyway and PSS are not actually dealing with it??? Does anyone know if that is the case?

 

Please let me know what your experiences are. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention that we have also added extra £35 for indemnity fee - it is in the event of being ordered for external container cleaning by quarantine inspection on arrival (in case of the container having dirt, soil or bird droppings???which is obviously completely out of our hands)???

 

Anyone actually experienced that?

 

Thanks
