Shipping Insurance

I've been trying to find a Courier to take my preEB Stingray to Denmark however I keep coming up against limitations to the insurance cover. ParcelFarce say £100 max and others are saying £1000 which is not enough.

Anyone found a Courier who will give cover above £1000?

Don't know if it helps but Status Graphite ship their new basses with UK Mail. They are worth a lot more than £1000.

Just tried them and the parcel is too big.

I've used Interparcel in the past. Although they're a clearing house for spare capacity on the major carriers, they offer good prices and additional insurance. Just check the exclsuions! Parcelfarce's small print states that they won't pay out for damage to musical instruments, even if they're in a case BTW, so avoid them at all costs...

I select my couriers via Interparcel.com. Most quotes come with £50 or £100 cover, which you can then add to, typically at a rate of 2% of the insured value.

Interparcel have just told me £1000 maximum.

Interparcel's insurance only goes up to £1000.

If you want more you'll have to deal directly with someone like UPS or Fedex which will be a lot more.

This is getting silly.

Package is 8cm too long for UPS

Fedex limit the declared value to $1000 for guitars over 20 years old.
