Take a detailed inventory, take photos, keep a copy of receipts
It is very important to take a detailed inventory of everything you plan to move. It’s also a good idea to keep a copy of any purchase receipts, take photos, and secure evaluations for your more valuable belongings. Should any of your property be damaged or stolen during your move, the settlement of your claim will depend on how much evidence you can produce. For more usual items, such as linen, a standard rate will apply regardless of the actual value.
Remember that an inventory is needed for French Customs
Establishing a detailed inventory can be complicated, but keep in mind that you will need an inventory for French customs when you arrive. Although, perhaps, tempted to underrate the value of things when dealing with customs, it is not a good idea when it comes to insurance. You want to be sure that you are covered for the full value if any damage should occur to your belongings while in transit.
Be sure to get full value protection
For Moving Insurance, full value protection will pay for the repair or replacement of damaged property.
Be present at delivery and report any damage
Try to be present at the day of delivery. Check for any apparent damage to your furniture and don't hesitate to report them directly on the receipt that you'll sign.
