Couriers Transporting iPhone 4S Cargo Will Need Adequate GiT Insurance to Cover Theft says QuoteMeToday
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 10/13/11 -- First rate insurance broker QuoteMeToday are raising concern about the threat of iPhone 4S theft pending the release of the gadget this month. The insurance experts are advising distributers of the smartphone to cover themselves with a quality Goods in Transit (GiT) insurance policy, as the coveted item is so highly priced.
Couriers are expected to be very busy with the release of this year's eagerly anticipated iPhone 4S (Apple estimate 25 million sales) and the average cargo value is set to increase. QuoteMeToday are warning that couriers need to know if their policy covers them for loss, theft or damage of such high profile devices.
Meanwhile, it has been reported prototypes of the iPhone 4S (previously assumed iPhone 5) have already been 'lost' which is a worrying preview to how thieves will target the final product. The items are small and couriers are expected to take full advantage of this by hauling hundreds of the products at a time - an approach the professionals at QuoteMeToday think is too risky without insurance.
A spokesperson for the company commented:
'The threat of courier hijacking and theft always goes up over the winter period. The release of the new iPhone will further raise that threat level and couriers operating with limited or no insurance are taking a big chance. Unfortunately, we can't stop the thieves from targeting couriers but we can protect the drivers from paying out of their own pockets for compensation.'
GiT insurance covers the courier for loss and damage of cargo up to a certain value. Some policies have weight restrictions and some have limited cover for theft attractive devices like the iPhone 4S. QuoteMeToday are reinforcing the message that businesses need extensive , with no small print clauses that could void an insurance claim in the case of iPhone 4S theft.
