Is my shipment covered for loss and/or damages?

Yes, fully covered! We offer Replacement Value protection.

Everyone wants the peace of mind that full protection offers. Replacement Value Protection is maximum coverage at an affordable price. Replacement Value Protection simply means that if the damaged household item cannot be repaired to its original condition it will be replaced with a new one of like kind and quality at today’s market price. This protection is limited only by the amount of valuation you select. It is important, therefore, that you recognize and establish the realistic replacement value of all your possessions.

Our only requirement is that your shipment be protected at minimum coverage of not less than $5.00 per pound of the actual weight of your household possessions.

For example, if the actual total weight of your household items is 10,000 pounds, you must apply replacement cost coverage of not less than $50,000. (10,000 pounds X $5.00/lb.)

Our company will not ship or be held liable for Jewellery and Personal safes with contents. We recommend all high value items remain in the clients possession.

Full Replacement Value coverage is included on every quote.
