Shipping insurance advice please
Hi all
Quick question re shipping insurance .... we have been advised to only itemise items worth over £40 on our valuation form for standard liability insurance as anything below £40 will be automatically covered by the shippers limited liability.
Reading the very small print on the back of the form it would appear that this is correct but I wondered if anyone had any recent experience or views on this that they could share?
Many thanks! J
