[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2469812, member: 71510"]FWIW, I did get an insurance re-imbursement on a ~$700 rare stamp set earlier this year. It was going overseas, I used ShipCover. It took 8 weeks to process, and I was on pins and needles. I did get all my money back - excluding shipping and insurance costs. If you get insurance, always follow every letter of the rules. Even then, their objective is NOT to pay you - so sometimes you need to step up and be persistent. File claims immediately, get confirmation, get confirmation AGAIN, ask about the timeline, and don't let a day go by outside the timeline. Don't harass the person on the phone, they *can* help you. Make them your friend. If you annoy them, they won't lift a finger - and may even recommend not fulfilling the claim if they can find a way. There is no hard and fast rule for insurance. What are you shipping? Where is it going? How well is it packaged? What is the reputation of the buyer? How much can you afford to lose?[/QUOTE]
