International House Removals limits the company's liability to £40 per item in the event of loss or damage caused as a result of our negligence

International House Removals specifies the time limits for submitting claims for loss or damage
Jewelry and other items should not be included for removal.
If you want to do your own packing you need to consider the following:
International House Removals is responsible for the loss or damage caused by its negligence. Goods may be damaged by other causes over which a removal contractor has no control.
Secondly, our limit of liability is £40 per item or box and this will not be enough for some items.
International House Removals recognises that its customers need proper financial protection and offers Extra care handeling charge to cover goods while they are being packed, loaded, transported, unloaded and unpacked by International House Removals. If your move involves storage, this can be arranged too.
What Type of Extra care handeling charge Do I Require
International House Removals recommends to all customers that they take out Full "All Risks" - Extra care handeling charge. This does not literally cover anything that may happen, but does include cover for damage by breakage, vehicle accidents, fire, storm and theft.
You can choose Extra care handeling charge on a reinstatement basis which means "new for old", or an indemnity basis which means "like for like".
New for Old Extra care handeling charge
If something is totally lost or destroyed you will be paid the new replacement value or the item will be replaced as new. If the item can be repaired, our agent will arrange this if it is cheaper and gives a satisfactory result.
Like for Like Extra care handeling charge
Claims will be settled on the basis of the new value minus an allowance for age, wear and tear.
Check the value of your goods.
Once you have decided between "new for old " and "like for like" you must calculate the value of your goods.
This is your responsibility, because neither International House Removals nor our agent know the value of your property.
Claims Time Limit
For goods delivered by International House Removals, claims must be notified within 48 hours of delivery. If another company collects goods from a International House Removals warehouse, claims must be notified when the goods are handed out by the International House Removals staff. Our agent will refuse to pay claims if you do not adhere to these time limits.
Provision of service
We will do our best to provide service to you by any date we have agreed with you but we do not guarantee to do so.
Matching Pairs and Full Sets of Items
Like most household contents policies, if one of a pair of items or part of a set is lost or damaged, our agent will only pay for the individual item that is lost or damaged. Our agent will not pay for the replacement of the entire set.
Mechanical and Electrical Breakdown
It is not possible for International House Removals or our agent to check that electrical goods are working before a move takes place and our agent obviously have no responsibility for pre-existing damage.
This means that our agent will only pay for mechanical and electrical breakdown or derangement if there is obviously damage to outer casings.
Damp & Mildew
From time to time International House Removals receives Notice from customers for items that appear damp or damaged by mould or mildew. Be aware that the company's warehouses are not heated. In winter, the ambient temperature and humidity in a warehouse is much lower than a centrally-heated home.
The higher temperature at home means that its air is almost certainly more humid. If soft furnishings, upholstered furniture, bedding and curtains come from a warm environment into a cold environment, the air in the fibres will cool and deposit a 'moisture load', and a feeling of dampness.
This arises because the temperature and humidity in your house is high, not because the warehouses leak! We are happy to discuss this with you.
Packing your Goods
International House Removals offers a 2 man packing service at £40 per hour, plus the
cost of packaging materials.
Our agent will not pay for the loss or damage to goods packed by the customers, only if there is total loss of a consignment. If you find this unacceptable, you must allow International House Removals to pack your goods.
International House Removals Extra care handeling charge is specially tailored for customers needs and we strongly advise that you purchase Full “New for Old” Extra care handeling charge to avoid disappointment.
