Still Confused
Have just spent the last hour debating shipping insurance with husband and result STILL CONFUSED!!
We are not shipping too much stuff quotes for 240 cubic feet and nothing really expensive more sentimental and un replaceable. We have roughly wokred out value at about 10k so insurance will be between £200/£300 so not a vast amount but keep thinking is it worth bothering with? There is so much small print
Still haven't decieded which company
Avalon - I know they had bad press but the guy was really helpful and very comprehensive pack.
Pickfords - not sure ok creepy sale man!!
Bishops - Had to chase them for the quote but offer four weeks free insurance.
More advice required any first hand experience of the above companies or more tips on Insurance.
Cheers

Re: Still Confused
We're still picking through the small print. We are taking a similar amount of stuff - 240 cu ft - and when roughly calculated insurance also came out at about £10k. Trying to decide between bishops move and pss. think pss will win it - much cheaper. think we probably will insure, but not decided exaclty what yet. so much small print my brain can't cope!

From this discription I would say don't bother with insurance. I did not insure last time (there or back) and will not do so this time.
Avalon get a very bad press, do a search on this forum for info. We are using Pickfords only because they use there own people and dont sub contract. Prices all came in pretty much the same.

Alternatively a friend of ours has a family owned removals company in Gosport. He's promised to do us a good deal when (if) we move.
Could give you his number if you like (as you're not that far away in Southampton)
