If you order by phone you will be asked if you wish us to insure on your behalf. Insurance will cost $1 for every $100 value or part thereof eg. if your order is for $145 the insurance will be $2. (Note: Some items such as solar panels, etc. are difficult to ship and have a higher insurance fee of $7.50 per $500). If you do not wish to insure a statement saying 'Insurance Declined' will appear on the order. If you post an order don't forget to consider insurance. We do not automatically issue insurance unless you specify. If you don't mention insurance you will NOT be insured.
