shipping insurance
So when you get your quote for 20ft container, lets say £3,300 add 2.5% value for insurance, How much do you end up paying for insurance on top of your shipping quote. If we had £10,000 insured does that mean we have to pay £2,500 ontop of your shipping quote or am i being thick?

Re: shipping insurance
£2,500 x 4 = £10,000, so that would be 25%!
Drop a zero, and you get £250.
(Unless I'm the one being thick?)

2.5% of £10000 is £250. Plus insurance premium tax I would imagine (about 5% of the £250)

Call Letton Percival and it'll be 1.6%, that'll be £160 plus 5% which is a total of £168 - I amaze myself sometimes!!
