Depending on what it is, price you paid ... very hard to prove replacement value to insurance companies (again depends on what it is)

Say for example my Nick Smith Simpsons print which I paid ยฃ595 for. There are several on eBay from ยฃ1485 upwards. Would an insurer accept this as proof of replacement value should I insure it for that figure rather than the price I paid? What would they require to be satisfied that theyโre not being swindled. Past auction results etc, listings in galleries etc?

You insure it for the price it would cost to replace it.

Definitely with Morfx Mrizzle,
It would be the cost to replace it.
I queried this point with Hiscox, and they advised they would use things like current auction results etc to determine what they would pay out.

Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, Australia, by John The Badgers on Jan 20, 2021 19:46:23 GMT 1, Hello! I am shipping a package with flight logistics from US to UK and deciding if I should insure the art or not. It would be about $1,200 to insure and is shipping with DHL. How do you think about insurance? Thanks in advance!
As I am old and very cynical, and wouldn't trust an insurance company as far as I could throw them, I would be all over the DHL insurance cover just so that its making sure you are properly covered?
Are there any clauses on the packing, pre-pick up condition, excesses? What's the delivery policy, proof of delivery etc? I would just want it nailed down, especially as you are paying such a premium.
Hope all works out for you.

How do you think about insurance? Thanks in advance! I'm surprised you're asking tbh? Insurance at $1,200 must equate to a value of something like $100,000 plus. So, yes... insure it. If that's not the case then DHL are taking the piss and you need to cover it via another insurance provider.

We ship reasonably high value items, and when I have looked at their respective liability covers, never give me loads of confidence/value for money?
Is there options to look at 'specialist' art shippers? If you are being quoted that kind of premium, surely there must me other options, companies that are specialising in looking after this value of art? Perhaps help with packing/crating etc?

Say the object you're shipping is worth around $1.000, would you trust the insurance provided by the shipping company? For example UPS asks you the value of the item you're shipping and apparently offers insurance to cover up to that price (upon paying a small premium), does anybody have any experience with them?

These companies normally have the art in their possession the entire time, on their vans etc. and can advise on crating the art for maximum protection.
For a recent shipment from UK to US the charge for insurance was 5% of the artwork value. Expensive but worth it

So just make very sure what you are actually paying for, photograph or video the packing process too. As mentioned on this forum firms like Flight Logistics are great and will pack for you but we are talking big money, and we are all about prints for the people : ) A lot of the insurance policies will only cover art for loss and not damage - always read the T&C's

They say that damage needs to be reported when it is delivered. Since my package was delivered to a buidling concierge, he of course did not open it or knew what was arriving.
When the buyer got home, he inmediately heard there was broken glass inside. But since it was later on the day, TNT says they do not need to pay damages. Surely the delivery guy must have heard there was broken glass inside as well.....
This is of course completely ridicoulous. Are you supposed to have the delivery guy waiting at your door until you unpack the package? ? ? Complete bull sh!t.
You pay an extra insurance fee and then you get this when you have damage. Shameful......
Not done with this yet. I'll hunt them down until I get my money back.....

Shipping Art โข UK, USA, Asia, Europe, Australia, by Dive Jedi on Feb 2, 2021 9:42:23 GMT 1, TNT didn't want to pay my damage, because it wasn't reported to them at arrival.
It was a frame with glass. The package looked fine, but the glass was broken.
I didn't accept their decision, so made a complaint about that.
Now they came back and said their insurance wouldn't cover any damage to breakable items. Even if it was claimed right away at arrival.
Which led me to think and go back to the basics....... IT's THEIR JOB TO DELIVER PACKAGES SAFELY !!
WHY do we have to pay insurance in the first place FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB ? ? ? ?
If you bring your car to the garage for repairs, you don't pay insurance in case they don't fix the car or scratch it. You don't pay insurance for your baker to bake proper bread.....
WHY are we paying an insurance fee for them TO DO THEIR F#CKING JOB ? ? ? ?
TNT didn't want to pay my damage, because it wasn't reported to them at arrival.
It was a frame with glass. The package looked fine, but the glass was broken.
I didn't accept their decision, so made a complaint about that.
Now they came back and said their insurance wouldn't cover any damage to breakable items. Even if it was claimed right away at arrival.
Which led me to think and go back to the basics....... IT's THEIR JOB TO DELIVER PACKAGES SAFELY !!
WHY do we have to pay insurance in the first place FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB ? ? ? ?
If you bring your car to the garage for repairs, you don't pay insurance in case they don't fix the car or scratch it. You don't pay insurance for your baker to bake proper bread.....
