In short: WE DO NOT INSURE GOODS WHICH ARE LISTED ON OUR PROHIBITED AND RESTRICTED ITEMS LISTING
Therefore it is very important that you read our Dangerous Goods: Prohibited and Restricted items listing to make sure you have adequate cover for your shipment.
Our policy might not be suitable for your particular needs, nor provide any insurance cover for your goods if listed. In the event that our cover is not adequate for your needs we would request you to seek alternative cover (or advice) prior to shipment.
The first step is to tell us about the matter immediately - no claims will be permitted after 7 days from the date of delivery.
IMPORTANT: For damaged goods, you must make a note on your delivery documentation at the time of delivery then contact 1300-00-SHIP (7447) for further assistance.
If you would like to make a claim, we will send you a claim form to return via an upload facility to our insurance portal (along with any relevant supporting documents as required) and our insurers will make a decision on your claim.
The completed claims form along with the requested evidence must be uploaded within 10 days from date of receipt of the claims email.
Supporting documents will be requested from you to validate your claim, which may include photographs, independent quotes, invoices to support, proof of payment, valuation of the goods, repairers' invoices etc.
Depending on the value of the consignment and circumstances, you may required to an assessment by its own investigators prior to the acceptance of any claim, so you must ensure that damaged freight or packaging is not disposed of or repaired until advised.
In most cases, however, approved claims will be paid within 28 days of the claim form being lodged. Please note that all claims will be subject to a $50 excess deduction.
