Insurance

 

We cannot be responsible for goods in transit after they leave our control.

We insure against loss, damage and destruction, where we can, and on the terms that we can.

You need to contact the shipper to get details of the terms of the current policy.

If your package is damaged, lost or stolen, you have to file a claim quickly.

You will need to show proof of loss, damage or destruction –  especially detailed photographs of the goods and packing on the day of receipt.

Note that post office insurance requires examination of the items in front of the postman who delivers them.

It would be a good idea to take a video and photographs and details of the postman’s name, address and phone number.

In the case of damage, the insurers require a repair estimate. If something can be repaired, the insurers probably won’t give you the full amount paid for the item.

It is difficult to find out the terms of insurance for post office and EMS insurance – DHL is clearer.
