Re: Shipping Insurance
I disagree with lots of the above. We've used them both.
They wanted professional packing. Assuming this was the case, they were happy to insure us for storage (we had 3 weeks before our items left Perth).
We had damage on unpacking - a guy dropped a mirror and LP paid out for that.

Re: Shipping Insurance
Hi,
How long do LP take to confirm the insurance details (the premium amount and bank details? We signed and sent their form two days ago and are now panicking as they've still not responded (the packers are coming on Monday
)

Re: Shipping Insurance
If I don't hear from them today, will probably have to go with insure-your-move.

Re: Shipping Insurance
Hi,
Just need some advice with regards to insurance - currently talking to Letton Percival.
At what point did your cover start and cease? Did it include damage done by movers when packing and unpacking?
Am insuring some high value paintings and fine porcelain artefacts. They have advised that if damaged, the stuff would be repaired where practical, if not then replaced. How can they repair a damaged painting or broken china ware? I'm not sure I'd be very happy with my porcelain stuck back together with glue or stitched up canvas
Any pitfalls I should be aware of? I'm taking plenty of photos to show the condition prior to shipment, to be on the safe side.

They will offer insurance advice and arrange it on your behalf if you need.
Good luck,
