For your peace of mind you can declare the value of your shipment to indicate our maximum liability for any loss, damage, delay, mis-delivery, non-delivery or misinformation. Every shipment you ship with Overnite Express has an assumed value of $100 or actual value, whichever is less. You may declare value of up to $25,000.00 per shipment. A $2.50 minimum charge will be assessed for all shipments exceeding $100 in declared value. For shipments exceeding $500 in declared value, an additional $.50 will be charged for each $100 (or fraction thereof) of declared value. The following items cannot have a declared value exceeding $100.00: Artwork, including any work created or developed by the application of skill, taste or creative talent for sale, display or collection; antiques, and any commodity which exhibits the style or fashion of a past era and whose history, age or rarity contributes to its value; glassware, including, but not limited to, signs, mirrors, ceramics, porcelains, china, crystal, glass, or framed glass; ostrich and emu eggs; furs or fur lined material; stocks, bonds, cash letters or cash equivalents; precious metals (except as an integral part of electronic machinery); jewelry. Any effort to declare a value in excess of the maximums allowed in this Service Guide is null and void and the acceptance for carriage of any shipment bearing a declared value in excess of the allowed maximum does not constitute a waiver of any provision of this service guide as to the shipment.
Shipments on our Early Overnite service cannot have a value declared.
