Orient staff are careful and professional in the approach to minimizing the risk of loss and damage to your shipment. However it is important to recognize that there are still risks during transit beyond our (or sometimes anybody's) control. This is why we recommend that you insure your shipment properly with the "all risk transit insurance policy".

There is no perfect formula to determine the exact value of the shipment to be insured, but there are a few guidelines which ensure proper coverage amount:
Provide a full and detailed inventory of all your household goods and value them at the amount it would cost to replace them (for example a dinner set bought in 1990 for say USD 100 may cost USD 200 or USD 60 today).
