Where does Insurance start and stop on Professional Packers Liability?
All my Pack and Ship facilities are ISPM-15 certified facilities where we make export crates.
This High Value coffee table was picked up and packed for shipment overseas.
But we were asked to ship it to Rhode Island instead. The customer wanted to visually view the table before it left the country.
Inspection of high value art and furniture is a common occurrence in our niche (custom pack and ship)
The worry I always have in situations like this is we foam wrapped AND Pad wrapped this table completely.
In Rhode Island they ripped all of it off to inspect the table so what are they going to use to rewrap? Pad the table?
Also this nullifies the “Professional Packers Insurance” coverage to the overseas destination. It stops in RI because they unpacked it there.
Of course the pad wrap keeps the table from getting scuffs or rub marks on the surface of the table.
I have to always explain to the client once they unpack it our packing coverage stops even if they paid us to pack it to make all the way to Italy, which we did.
Everyone have a Freight Day!
