Request before handover
Insurance support should be discussed before goods are handed over and before the final service scope is confirmed.
Sitewide Insurance Guidance
Transit Insurance Support
DG Singhania Packers can assist customers who request transit insurance support before a confirmed move. Coverage is not automatic. It depends on the insurer’s terms, declared value, accepted goods, route, documents, exclusions and any applicable premium or charge stated in writing.

Policy Summary
Assistance with insurance requests—not a promise of coverage
Transit insurance support means DG Singhania Packers may help collect or provide available information needed for an insurance request connected with a confirmed service. It does not mean every move, item, event or amount is automatically insured.
The insurer’s issued documents govern coverage, exclusions, accepted goods, notice, evidence, depreciation, deductibles, limits and settlement. Customers should review those documents before goods are handed over.
Core wording: Transit insurance support is available on request. Coverage depends on the insurer’s terms and declared value.
Core Principles
What the insurance-support process means
These principles should be understood before relying on insurance-related language in a quotation.
02
Written confirmation
Do not assume support, premium, goods acceptance or coverage unless the relevant details are confirmed in writing.
03
Insurer controls coverage
The insurer—not DG Singhania Packers—decides eligibility, exclusions, depreciation and settlement.
04
Declared value is not a guarantee
The value submitted for consideration is not automatically a guaranteed replacement or settlement amount.

When to Consider Support
Moves that may justify an insurance discussion
Suitability and acceptance still depend on insurer terms and the actual goods.
IC
Intercity relocation
Longer routes may involve more handling stages, travel time and route conditions.
HV
Higher declared value
Premium furniture, appliances, artwork or other disclosed goods may justify a documented discussion.
OF
Office relocation
Inventoried furniture, equipment and selected corporate assets may require a written asset list and value information.
VT
Car or bike transport
Vehicle model, condition, route, documents, accessories and accepted value may be relevant.
ST
Confirmed storage
Storage is available only when expressly confirmed in writing. Any insurance treatment must be separately checked.
FG
Fragile or special goods
Glass, mirrors, artwork, electronics or unusual goods require prior disclosure and insurer acceptance review.
Declared Value
What value information should communicate
A clear declaration helps the request, but it does not itself decide coverage or settlement.
Helpful declaration details
- Item-wise description or clearly grouped inventory
- Approximate age and current condition
- Purchase record or available supporting evidence
- Photographs of higher-value or fragile items
- Whether the item is company-packed or customer-packed
- Existing cracks, repairs, missing parts or prior damage
- Vehicle model, registration and condition where relevant
Declared value is not automatically settlement value
The insurer may apply its own definitions and calculations.
- Purchase price and current value may differ
- Replacement value may not be the applicable basis
- Age, depreciation, limits or deductibles may apply
- Supporting documents may be required
- Insurer acceptance should not be assumed from submission alone

Goods Treatment
How different categories should be discussed
Final acceptance and coverage depend on insurer documents, not this general guide.
| Category | Information to disclose | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Company-packed goods | Inventory, packing level, condition, value information and route | Coverage and settlement remain subject to insurer terms |
| Customer-packed cartons | Contents, value, packing method, carton condition and sealed status | Neither insurer coverage nor company claim outcome should be assumed automatically |
| Old or weak items | Cracks, repairs, rust, loose parts, wear and prior damage | Pre-existing condition may affect acceptance, causation or settlement |
| Fragile and unusual goods | Dimensions, condition, photographs, packing method and declared value | Prior disclosure and insurer acceptance may be required |
| Appliances and electronics | Model, age, visible condition, packing and available purchase records | Internal malfunction is not automatically transit damage |
| Personal data devices | Personal laptops, hard drives and sensitive data media should remain with the customer | Data, software, passwords and digital contents are not ordinary insured moving goods |
| Corporate IT assets | Selected inventoried corporate IT assets, serials, condition and written office scope | Backup, data security, shutdown, reconnection and testing remain customer or IT-vendor responsibilities |
| Plants | Size, pot condition, route and physical movement feasibility | Survival, freshness or leaf condition cannot be guaranteed |
| Pets and live animals | Not accepted as ordinary moving goods | Pets and live animals are not handled by this shifting service |
| Car or bike | Registration, model, accessories, condition photos, route and accepted value | Remove personal belongings and follow carrier or insurer conditions |
| Storage | Facility, inventory, duration, access and any separately accepted coverage | Storage is available only when expressly confirmed in writing |
| Hazardous or prohibited goods | Do not include unlawful, flammable, explosive, hazardous or leaking goods | Such goods may be refused and may fall outside ordinary coverage |
Separate Responsibilities
What DG Singhania Packers does—and what the insurer decides
The support role and coverage authority must remain distinct.
DG Singhania Packers may
Assist with available moving-service information connected with an insurance request.
- Collect inventory and declared-value information
- Confirm the written service route and scope
- Share available packing, handling or delivery records
- Guide the customer to relevant documents or process steps
- Coordinate reasonable information requests within its records
The insurer independently decides
The policy or certificate issued by the insurer governs its decision.
- Whether goods or events are covered
- Exclusions, limits and deductibles
- Depreciation or valuation method
- Evidence and notice requirements
- Eligibility, survey, approval and settlement
No guarantee of insurer outcome: DG Singhania Packers does not determine or guarantee the insurer’s acceptance, coverage or final claim decision.
Support Process
How to request transit insurance support
Request support before handover so the goods, value and documents can be considered in time.
Request early
Ask for insurance support before booking confirmation and before goods are handed over.
Share inventory
Provide goods categories, item details, photographs and special-care information.
Declare value
Submit the value information requested for consideration and disclose prior condition.
Review documents
Review any insurer document, exclusions, premium, accepted goods and process requirements.
Keep records
Retain the quotation, inventory, declared value, photographs and issued insurance documents.
Retrospective coverage should not be assumed: A request made after handover, after transit or after a reported event may not create coverage.
Limitations and Assumptions
What customers should not assume
The issued insurance documents—not website wording—define any actual coverage.
Not automatic
A moving quotation does not automatically include transit insurance unless the relevant support and charge are confirmed in writing.
Not every item accepted
Insurers may exclude or restrict goods based on category, condition, packing, route or documentation.
Not guaranteed replacement value
Declared, purchase and replacement values may be treated differently under the insurer’s method.
Not a company-issued policy
DG Singhania Packers does not replace the insurer or rewrite the insurer’s issued terms.
Not automatic claim approval
Reporting an event does not by itself prove coverage, causation or settlement amount.
Not a substitute for disclosure
Fragile, high-value, weak, repaired, unusual or restricted goods must still be disclosed before handover.
Customer Checklist
Steps before relying on insurance support
Good records help clarify both the request and any later review.
Create an inventory
List significant goods and separate fragile, unusual or higher-value items.
Photograph condition
Record the visible condition, serial numbers, prior damage and vehicle condition.
Disclose packing responsibility
State whether each important item is company-packed or customer-packed.
Review insurer documents
Read accepted goods, exclusions, premium, limits, evidence and notice conditions.
Keep issued records
Retain the quotation, inventory, value declaration, receipt and insurance documents.
Remove customer-held items
Keep cash, jewellery, documents, medicines and personal data devices with you.
Report concerns early
Preserve packaging, photographs, delivery records and relevant communications.
Use authorised channels
Share information and payments only through verified company or insurer channels.
Insurance and Claim Connection
A reported issue may involve two separate reviews
The company’s handling review and the insurer’s coverage assessment may use related evidence but remain independent.
Company handling review
Considers confirmed service scope, item condition, packing responsibility and available handling evidence.
Insurer coverage review
Considers the issued insurance documents, accepted goods, event, exclusions and evidence.
Shared records
Inventory, photographs, quotation, delivery information and value documents may be relevant to both.
Different outcomes
A company review result does not automatically determine the insurer’s decision, or vice versa.

Questions about declared value, documents and insurer decisions
These answers are general guidance. The issued insurance documents govern actual coverage.
Is transit insurance automatically included with every move?
No. Transit insurance support is available on request. Coverage depends on the insurer’s terms and declared value, and any confirmed premium or related charge should be stated in writing.
What is declared value?
Declared value is the value information submitted for insurance consideration. It is not automatically the purchase price, replacement value or guaranteed settlement amount.
Who decides whether an insurance claim is covered?
The insurer independently decides eligibility, exclusions, depreciation, evidence requirements and settlement under the applicable insurance documents.
Can DG Singhania Packers guarantee insurer approval?
No. DG Singhania Packers may assist with available service records or documentation but does not control or guarantee the insurer’s final decision.
When should insurance support be requested?
It should be requested before goods are handed over and before the service is confirmed. Retrospective or automatic coverage after a move should not be assumed.
Are customer-packed cartons automatically excluded?
No blanket conclusion should be assumed. Insurer coverage depends on the insurance terms, while company claim review may consider carton condition, packing suitability, declared contents, handling evidence and the written scope.
Can personal laptops or corporate IT equipment be included?
Personal laptops, drives and sensitive data devices should remain with the customer. Selected inventoried corporate IT assets may be included in a written office-relocation and insurance-support discussion, subject to insurer acceptance.
Are plants, pets and live animals normally covered?
Pets and live animals are not handled by this shifting service. Plant movement is feasibility-based, and survival, freshness or leaf condition cannot be guaranteed. Any insurance treatment depends on the insurer’s documents.
Request Before Handover
Discuss insurance support before confirming the move
Share the route, inventory, declared-value information, photographs, packing responsibility and proposed move date. Review the insurer documents before relying on coverage.
