Why would I consider insuring my shipment and what type of insurance do you offer?
Insuring your goods gives you peace of mind. After all, these are your personal effects and are therefore important to you otherwise you would not send or store them.
Total Loss Insurance
In accordance with Zambezi Freight Terms and Conditions of service we automatically provide Total Loss Insurance cover of £100.00 or equivalent in country of origin currency for each carton, suitcase, holdall, backpack and other individually packed items. It is company policy to recommend this minimal insurance cover but you do have the option to opt out if you do not wish to have this insurance cover.
All Risk Insurance
The Insurance Premium payable for cover is calculated as 5% of the ‘replacement value’ of the inventoried items. It includes the total loss of the entire shipment, theft of items from the shipment and water damage to the consignment. ‘Replacement value’ equals the value it would cost to repurchase lost items.
PLEASE NOTE:
As with all insurance there is an ‘insurance excess liability’ amount whereby the customer is liable for an initial proportionate amount of the claim being registered. In this instance the ‘excess liability’ for insurance placed through Zambezi Freight is currently based upon a minimum UK Sterling amount of £50.00 (fifty pounds) or the equivalence in local currency. All claims are subject to the standard Insurance Terms & Conditions. There is an excess payment on any single claim.
By law, we are unable to ship certain items. We have listed some of the Restricted Items but please contact us with any queries.
