You need insurance because all carriers’ liabilities are strictly limited and will only pay out at a very low level of compensation in relation to the actual value of the goods. Carriers legal liability and their terms and conditions are based on the weight of the goods this will govern any claims that may occur and as a guide present rates of compensation for total loss would be just a few £ pounds per kilo.
