I am making an 84" X 92" quilt to send overseas. It is the Ship at Sea pattern set off with Square in a Square and large blocks of 2 different nautical and red material. All is cotton. I am also sending a quilted table runner. What should I insure it for in monetary value??????????

Unless you get an appraisal, insurance really won't pay piddly. When I shipped a quilt from the USA to Australia, I called it a blanket, not a quilt, it made it there just fine. Quilts are desirable and if it is identified as such, I was told it had a higher chance of not arriving.

Insurance is a waste sadly- when I was working in the shipping area and packages got lost the USPS never paid a claim no matter what :hunf: So we stopped insuring them :wink: Very few got lost anyways :lol:

SharonB- once I bought something in RI to be delivered here. When it arrived it was smashed. The post office gave me such a hard time about it I've never bothered insuring anything since then. After many trips, filling out forms and feeling like a criminal (I didn't but they tried to make ME at fault)
I decided it's just not worth the hassle. I somehow got my money back but what a headache!!!
Never again!
