mzphee Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I inquired about product liabilty insurance because im going to start gifting my melts outside of family and friends for feedback. And got a call aback today, the quote was $375 a year@ $300,000 product liability coverage. The agent states there is a candle manufacturing section that the Big guys use and I would fall under that. Im excited about this.Even if im not selling yet im still gifting and would have my melts and linen sprays covered.what do you guys think?

tam1116 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think that sounds good, as long as it covers everything that is needed. Where is that at, if you don't mind sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzphee Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 we talked in depth on Tuesday as to what I make how I make it and how I will sell product. also what I wanted. so today he stated it would cover the product 300,000 and any craft shows,flea markets,fund raisers..etc and that I would get a certificate to display if needed. It was just a quote Im going to make an appointment to go in and see black and white and also compile any questions I even had a small thought about. but im excited although I trust my family and friends I would like some neutral feed back, so gifting 2cubes or a 1oz tart would be my pleasure.

kcollins78 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So glad to hear! Thanks for telling us about that. I'm also in Illinois and we have our house and car insurances through Pekin, although I'm still in the testing phase so the insurance part is a little ways away for me. Great to know they provide it!

lauramw71 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 My hunny uses Pekin as his insurance carrier for his bricklaying business. Luckily he's never had to use it, so they seem to be a good company.. they take his money happily LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcollins78 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 will you rate them as a good company? My husband loves Pekin for some reason but I've personally never filed a claim with them. I formerly used State Farm and just loved them, but I don't know if they had candle/business insurance. They're great with auto accident claims! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
