🛡 BoxLok Insurance Policy – Simple, Transparent Protection for Expats in HCMC

At BoxLok, we get it — you’ve got stuff you care about, but you don’t want to worry about it while you’re traveling, relocating, or making a fresh start in Ho Chi Minh City.

That’s why we offer clear, flexible storage insurance options — with no jargon, no confusion, and no stress.

Whether you're heading out for a visa run or storing your entire apartment, we've got you (and your stuff) covered.


🚫 What Not to Store (Prohibited Items)

For safety and legal reasons, the following items are not allowed in storage or transport:

  • Pets or animal products

  • Cultural artifacts or historical relics

  • Anything explosive, flammable, toxic, or smelly

  • Food, drinks, or liquids

  • Cash, banknotes, or anything that’s money-like

  • Anything illegal under Vietnamese law

🧯 If you’re not sure, ask. If we find banned items, we may dispose of them without notice and can’t offer refunds. You’re also responsible for any fines or legal issues that come up.


⚠️ Fragile Stuff – Handle With Care

We’re happy to store fragile items (like glasses, electronics, or decorations), but they must be packed well.

That means:

  • Electronics (TVs, laptops, phones) should be cushioned and boxed

  • Mirrors and glass furniture must be disassembled and padded

  • No loose ceramics, crystal, or breakables in open containers

If it’s made of glass, stone, marble, acrylic, or similar, we may need to pre-approve it or refuse to store it unless it’s packed to survive a move.

📦 Pro tip: You can use our professional packing service if you're unsure. It’s quick and affordable.


💎 High-Value Items – Be Smart

We strongly recommend not storing irreplaceable or high-value items unless you tell us first. These include:

  • Passports, visas, IDs, and personal documents

  • Bank info, green cards, birth certificates

  • Art, antiques, collectibles, signed books

  • Jewelry or anything rare, expensive, or one-of-a-kind

If you have to store them, declare them in advance. That’s the only way we can offer proper protection under our insurance plans.

Anything valued over 1,000,000 VND per kilo counts as high-value.
