PBO - Pack by Owner - not covered by insurance
Movers will create a packing list and will mark already packed boxes as PBO [pack by owner].
all of those boxes will not cover by the insurance.
however, you can pack non fragile items in them and they will be cover in case of lost. all breakable items in those boxes will not covered by the insurance.
will be good idea to leave the
moving boxes open and show the movers the content and to mark it on the packing list. sometimes the movers will not write PBO on the boxes.
good luck packing
