At 700 big ones, you must be shipping quite alot or you have over valued! Do they give a "new for old" policy or is it secondhand value? Also read the small print, particularly exclusions.
We are using PSS, but the jury is still out as to whether to bother with the insurance, just hope our container is not stacked on the top!!!!

Only my opinion of course - we paid over 1000 GBP for insurance - I had in excess of 40,000 GBP worth of stuff, and it wasn't all really really expensive gear just what 15 years of living put together and we brought the lot. I only miss the stuff I did not bring!

When it came down to it 1000 was a drop in the ocean!!! to what we eventually spent and at least I had some come back....and I did check and recheck what we were covered for! But my experience may not be as valid for some as I got the move classified under my company so they may have been more careful??

6 weeks as promised door to door with pickfords - excellent service.

Cheers Sandra
