ABOUT THIS INSURANCE PROGRAM
Congratulations on your relocation! While moving is an exciting time in ones life, it can also be challenging.
To assist you with your relocation, Dell has partnered with Wills Relocation Risk Group (WRRG) to provide
you with a comprehensive insurance program designed to protect your goods in the unlikely event they suffer
loss or damage during their transit to your new home. This package of information is designed to explain the
benefits of the program to you and assist you with the process of valuing your goods and applying for the
insurance protection provided by Dell and its partners.

How Much Coverage Will I Have Under This Program?
The insurance carrier agrees to pay either the full replacement or repair costs for items that suffer loss or
damage during the course of transit and long term storage. Dell employees will value their goods as follows:
The insurance carrier will provide replacement value protection if you agree for no less than $12 times
the weight of the shipment and further agree to separately list and value all items or sets valued at over
$5,000. If your goods need additional coverage beyond the total indicated by this method, you may
request additional coverage by preparing a High Valued List, which will include and valued all items or
sets above $5,000. This list will be added to your lump sum valuation.
Furs, Silverware, Fine Arts, Antiques, Rugs, Gold Ware, and Pianos which exceed $5,000 in value must be separately declared and appraised in order
to be covered. You are responsible for the cost of any appraiser’s fee. This schedule must be received in the Willis Relocation Risk office prior to
shipment. The claim adjustment will be based on repair/restoration cost, the scheduled value, or its replacement cost, whichever is less
