International removals insurance
Pickfords offers Itemised Cover from The Baxendale Insurance Company DAC, which provides the widest cover available for transit risks. The insurance carries no excess and provides insurance protection, with the basis of settlement being 'Replacement as New'.
Insurance Protection
Itemised Cover provides insurance protection during transit and into store (for 60 days). Should a claim be made, the insurer has the option to offer repair, replacement or financial compensation, for loss or damage to your goods, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. The Insurance policy will pay for partial loss or damage of a shipment.
For instance, the most common cause of claims are scratching, denting and breakage, which may be caused by a variety of incidents, including rough handling by stevedores or shipping lines, and bad weather on the high seas.
Unexplained ‘loss’ of items such as cameras or PCs is common at certain destinations where security standards may be lax. Cover is also included against the risks of riots, war at sea and terrorism in other words incidents beyond your or our control, which do give rise to claim.
Itemised Cover
If you accept the proposal from The Baxendale Insurance Company DAC, you will have to detail the items that you intend to ship and include the cost of replacing the item at your destination. You should insure all your goods. Items that are not detailed will not be covered. Items valued £500 and over must be individually declared or insurers will assume the maximum value is not greater than £500.
