Beyond stand-alone collection insurance
This is not a one-size-fits-all policy. rivr provides specialist cover tailored to philatelists as part of a high value contents insurance policy. Your entire collection can be insured under one structure, with a clear level of protection at home, in secure storage or while in transit.
How we support serious stamp collectors
Your stamps are insured globally against theft, accidental loss and physical damage. Newly acquired items are automatically covered for 60 days, giving you time to arrange valuations and confirm their total value.
Where a professional valuation exists, settlement is aligned to the agreed value and your policy terms, including replacement cost where appropriate. Listed rarities and general holdings can sit together under one schedule.
A clear policy, managed your way
Upload stamp valuations, manage documents and track cover limits online. Your advisor can explain how our tailored insurance policy fits your specific needs. We are insurance specialists, here to help ensure your valuable items stay adequately insured.
How to protect your stamp collection
- Handle with care: Always use tweezers with rounded tips and avoid touching stamps with bare hands to reduce the risk of oil or moisture damage.
- Store professionally: Use acid-free albums, hingeless mounts or stock books and keep them in a dry, cool place with stable humidity, away from direct light.
- Document thoroughly: Maintain an indexed inventory with scans or photos, condition grades, dates acquired and current market values.
- Separate and secure: Rare or high-value stamps should be stored in a safe or secure facility rather than mixed with general contents or coin collections.
- When shipping: Use stiffeners or protective sleeves inside waterproof mailers, send tracked and insured, and declare contents appropriately.
