Let’s Talk Collections

​

 

Collection can go on the HV Inventory

 

For any collection you should have a picture inventory and a detailed inventory of your own as to what is in the collection. Per the claim liability business rules you cannot simply say “22 pairs of Nike Jordans”. You should be as specific as possible “22 pairs of size 8.5 Jordans in colors XYZ.” Would suffice.

 

I list my ceramic Christmas trees as a collection in our HV inventory. I have pictures and measurements of each one along with a detailed inventory of each. I list it as “Ceramic Christmas tree collection containing 51 various trees of multiple sizes, colors, designs and manufactures including vintage and modern remake trees”

 

I also take the extra step of sending my personal itemized inventory to our move coordinator with a copy of the HV inventory done at pack out to create that paper trail of identifying upfront what is tendered in the shipment.

 

You can find the HV piece sited here in the claim liability business rules:

“High Value Items and High-Risk Inventories

1.8.1. High value/high risk items are rare, very high-end, highly pilferable, and/or expensive collectible items and may include, but is not limited to, currency, coins, jewelry, silverware and silver service sets, crystal, figurines, furs, objects of art, computer software programs, manuscripts, comic books, baseball cards, stamps, and other collectable items or rare documents, a collection of compact disks (CDs) and digital video disks (DVDs) will not be considered high value/high risk items. However, individual CDs or DVDs with a value in excess of $50 will be considered a high value item.

​

1.8.2. Collections should be noted at pack out and preparation of the origin inventory. Simply listing twenty-two (22) pairs Nike sneakers or "Jordans" is not sufficient to establish that such items constitute a collection. The customer must be counseled by the pack crew to specifically identify and designate collections prior to packing, and such collections must be indicated on the high-risk/inventory form or origin inventory as appropriate.

​

1.8.3. The TSP will add all items requested by the customer or which the TSP observes are generally of the nature to fall within the rare, very high-end, highly pilferable, and/or expensive collectible item category to the HVI sheets. Note High value/high risk inventory sheets are for rare, very high end, highly pilferable, and/or expensive collectible items. When in doubt, the TSP should ask the customer whether he/she would like to add the item to the HVI list.”
