Shipping Services and stuff
Hi there all,
Need a bit of advice on insurance services, we've been quoted 3% for the total value of a combined shipment. I have read about people taking out insurance separate to their shipping company, can any one recommend any places?
Also can anyone tell us of their experience on shipping mountain bikes? Has there been any issues at customs? We intend to wash and disinfect them obviously, but thought we'd find out of other peoples experience.
Also have tatami mats and a mattress for a futon bed. We're a little worried about mildew or mold as this could ruin the bed, has anyone shipped these type of items before? They will be in storage for a good 3 or 4 months at least.
Thanks for any advice or replies, very appreciated
Elaine.

Hi
Company called Lettons 0151 236 4568 do Marine Insurance. Just called them this morning, really helpful and charge 1.6% of total consignment - almost more than half what some removal companies charge.
Hope this helps
