We use a limited number of A. M. Best A rated underwriters who have shown consistent long-term interest in insuring high tech cargo. Both the underwriters and the clients in the program, are proactive regarding security and shipping practices. Claims service is rapid and experienced, with investigative personnel often involved in limiting losses in progress. Rates continue to be attractive, and the underwriters have shown judgement and maturity in dealing with occasional large losses and unfavorable loss years for a given client. Policy forms and audit basis are designed for simplicity of administration, eliminating inconvenience in the shipping process and allowing CFOs to accurately accrue and pay for their coverage. The program is available to shippers of electronics components who ship their goods via common carrier or contract carrier, whether they are OEMs, CEMs, chip brokers, components wholesalers or retailers. We currently have some of the largest chip brokers in the U.S. using this program, as well as small and medium-sized mail-order wholesalers and retailers. Jerry Offner and Linda Rogers both hold the Certified Insurance Counselor designation and have been involved with the acquisition and service of commercial insurance accounts for more than four decades combined. Over the past several years, we began to receive requests for our expertise from electronic component distributors on a reference basis. We are now making our services widely available through the web. Members of the Electronics Resellers Association International (http://www.erai.com) receive special consideration.
