 Although
our agents work very hard to ensure your belongings arrive safely,
we would like to bring to your attention the Warsaw convention,
which governs and may limit the liability of the carriers in the
event of loss and/or damage. In most cases, the real value of
your goods are not covered by the carriers liability. We recommend
you take advantage of the excellent insurance coverage we have
available through a maritime consortium insurance group.
Once
a reservation for your move has been made, you must decide on
a dollar amount to insure the value of your contents. Our representative
will issue an insurance certificate from our maritime insurance
group. The agent will then remit the insurance certificate to
you before the departure of your goods. In the unfortunate event
that an accident occurs, you will have the coverage and necessary
documentation ready to settle the claim directly with the insurance
group.
The
following types of coverage are available. They all provide coverage
in the event of fire, water damage and/or theft but our "fragile
item" policies also cover breakables such as china and glassware.
Insurance
A: All risks but excluding breakages, premium 2.5% of destination
replacement value.
Insurance
B: All risks professionally packed only, including breakage, premium
3.5% of destination replacement value.
The
minimum value to insure for a 20ft. container is $20,000
The minimum value to insure for a 40ft. container is $30,000
