a real "what the" moment
Well, my stuff has finally left Aussie shores!!! With a bit of luck, and a healthy dose of finger and toe-crossing, it should arrive in mid-April.
Now, my insurance company (who shall remain nameless) apparently did me a very special favour by agreeing to insure the contents of my container.
Apparently they don't normally insure things going to Israel - it's too high a risk, they told me.
Still, the nice man I have been bugging for about four months is bending the rules for me slightly. However, he told me, they can't list Israel as the final destination, or his company won't insure me. Instead, the invoice lists KUWAIT as the destination for my beloved possessions.
Truly - I kid you not.
The paperwork lists my name, my full address in Israel (and even says, "Jerusalem, Israel") but the very last line says, KUWAIT.
Now, given the reason they wouldn't insure me because I live in Israel, if one follows this so-called "logic", can someone please tell me how Kuwait is supposed to be safer??!!
