No Trinkets/Costume Jewellery to be packed into the Container
Hi
Does anybody know why our movers insist that trinkets/costume jewellery is to be packed into our suitcases?
TIA

Have you seen our Wiki articles on relocation? They might be of use

Our shippers (very recent) had no problems at all with costume jewellery (Doree Bonner).

Could the shippers have had a previous problem (or problems) with damage to trinkets and costume jewellery or claimed loss of such, and then the owners had claimed a much greater value in damages????

Hi H1pp0
Our shippers refused any jewelry of any kind in the container - they said it wouldn't be covered by insurance. We had to pack it all in our suitcases.
My mum recently died and left me a lot of, mainly costume, jewelry which I hadn't properly gone through yet so I just chucked it all into bags and put it in a lockable Samsonite case and it made it here ok!

Hi
Thank you for everyone’s replies. Yes it is to do with the insurance. Too late now to change shippers.

Did you take their insurance or go through a 3rd party?
Do you have your goods to follow lists prepared, ready for arrival (if you haven't already had them stamped)?

I would never use the Removals/ Shipping company insurance, go to an independent such as Letton Percival) or through a broker, much cheaper.. hence my question upthread
