Help please! shipping/medical & baggage insurance

Even if insurance is included, be sure it is sufficient. I think UPS will pack for you (for a fee) and guarantee their packing.

Oh right. OK I will make sure I ask them that when sorting it out. Thanks for the advice.

OK I'll make sure I go into some detail with them. I think I will probably pack the stuff myself and with my boxes just to save some money. I'll make sure they're secure.

I know of at least a couple companies that will only insure a shipment if they packed it. Don't be surprised if this comes up as a requirement of getting insurance, but I doubt all companies do it that way.

Ah that's annoying. It makes sense though. I hope UPS don't do that as I wanted to go with them. I still could of course but it just means more expense. I need to ring them early this week.

Thanks for your help.

Also, on travel insurance, you could get some to cover a very short round trip, which might keep the cost down. Also see if there is any travel insurance you can get for the flight from the credit card company you book your flight with.

Hi, unfortunately I paid by debit card for the flight.
I phoned the travel insurance companies first but they do not provide cover for one way trips sadly (not even for baggage).
