Peace Of Mind: Our Comprehensive Insurance and Safety Measures For Sending Your Diamonds & Jewelry

 

Explore the comprehensive measures we take to ensure the safety and security of your valuable jewelry when selling your items to White Pine. Learn how our robust insurance policies and meticulous shipping procedures safeguard your treasures every step of the way.

 

What Amount Do We Insure Your Items For?

At White Pine, we prioritize the security and value of your items throughout the shipping process. To ensure peace of mind, we provide insurance coverage for the mid-point of the initial price estimate we offer you. This approach balances safeguarding your investment while accounting for the variable nature of valuations until a final assessment can be made. By insuring your items for the range's middle value, we ensure you are protected financially, regardless of fluctuations in the final appraised value. This policy is part of our commitment to maintaining transparency and trust with our clients, ensuring that every transaction is handled with the utmost care and professionalism. 

At White Pine, we ensure that every item you send is protected by our insurance policy, which covers values up to $50,000. This level of coverage is designed to meet the needs of most transactions, providing robust protection within this range. For items valued higher than this threshold, we recognize the need for additional security measures. Therefore, should the estimated value of your jewelry or diamonds exceed $50,000, we will arrange special insurance coverage to match the increased value. This tailored approach ensures that your high-value items receive the appropriate level of protection, reflecting their financial and sentimental worth.

 

Continuous Protection: Insurance Coverage From Shipping To Sale Or Return

Your item remains fully insured throughout the entire process, from when it is scanned at FedEx until it becomes part of a finalized sale or is returned to you. This continuous coverage ensures that your valuables are protected every step of the way, during transit, evaluation, and either the selling phase or the return journey. By maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage throughout, we provide you with peace of mind, knowing that your item is safeguarded against unforeseen circumstances until it is either sold or safely back in your hands.

Instructions For A Succesful Shipping Process

By adhering to these shipping guidelines, you can trust that your valuable jewelry or diamonds are protected from your hands to ours.

 

Packaging Guidelines

To ensure the utmost safety of your jewelry during transit, it is crucial to follow our specific packaging instructions:

  • Double Boxing: Place your item inside an inner box, then position this inner box within a larger outer box. This double-boxing method helps cushion your valuables.
  • Sealing: Securely tape all seams of both boxes to prevent any opening during shipping. Make sure the contents do not rattle inside the box to avoid damage.
  • Discretion: Do not indicate on the outer packaging that the contents include jewelry or diamonds to prevent theft.

 

Shipping Method

For the shipping of your items, please adhere to the following guidelines:
