Insurance

Freight Insurance Icon for International Freight Solutions Ltd

Are your goods insured? It is surprisingly common for companies to assume that their carriers limited liability will somehow cover them in the event of damage or loss of goods. This is not always the case.

IFS take care to remind customers that their goods may require insuring to full value to ensure they do not lose out in the event of a claim. It is worth checking whether it is the Exporter, the Consignee or Forwarder who are expected to arrange insurance cover.

It doesn’t cost that much to fully insure your goods premiums start from just £15.00

International Freight Solutions can also provide General Average Cargo Insurance >

IMPORTANT INSURANCE NOTICE – Please note...

IFS and our partners take a great deal of care when arranging the shipping of your goods, however, loss and damage do sometimes happen and it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you have the benefit of cargo insurance. In the event of loss/damage drivers, transport depots and shipping lines will either severely limit their liability to a very small amount, or make no payment at all. If you do not have your own cargo insurance we can arrange it for you. Please advise the value of your goods and we will provide a quotation. Thank you.

I needed an antique dining table shipping to family in Queensland Australia. I was dreading the whole process but it couldn’t have been simpler thanks to Paul and the team at IFS.The service they provided was outstanding every step of the way, not to mention the impeccable packing of the table! I cannot recommend them enough and would give more stars if I could.
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you for such a fantastic review, Yvonne. We're delighted to hear that you were so pleased with our service and that everything went smoothly for both you and your relatives in Australia. Thank you for choosing us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
