Advice needing re packing
Hi
We have Anglo Pacific doing our packing for us on Monday.
However, we need to list items and value for insurance.
A lot of our stuff is books, photos, endless cuddly toys etc.
Does anyone have experience of this? If we put approx 200 books, 3 boxes personal papers etc, will this suffice? As most of these items don't have value, in that, cash would not replace them.
I am going mad..and will go madder still if I have to literally list each hairclip, paperback or item of underwear.
Helppppppppp............

Re: Advice needing re packing
Hi Lissy
You are being asked to list the items you wish to insure - i.e. the ones that have monetary value to you and that you wish to pay insurance for. Don't list the stuff that doesn't need to be insured or that you don't want money for if it's lost.
They will list each individual box as they pack so you will have a complete inventory of everything when they leave. The insurance form is just for stuff that should be insured.
We listed our 4 vinyl record cases and put a value on them but with most of our other stuff, i.e. small kitchen stuff, books etc we didn't list it on the insurance form.
Hope this helps and best of luck.

This is a useful thread and I have been thinking about this myself.
Thanks for clearing it up. We are not going to insure ours for much, taking a chance on it all getting there safetly.
