[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 230298, member: 85"]When I first met hubby, he was working for a major moving company, and eventually was the warehouse manager. He says your piece probably weighs in the neighborhood of 250 -300 pounds complete with shelves. However, and this is BIG however. Tell them 500 pounds. He says based on what you are saying and asking, your coverage may be based on weight. So they are going to pay you by the pound, which may not cover the cost of the glass. Hopefully, you took out extra insurance and the fact that they want the cost of repair and value of the item, is a good sign. He also says to find a reputable antique repairer and get a written estimate for the repair.[/QUOTE]
