8. Claims and Liability

• Each parcel includes limited coverage. Fragile items, like vases, ceramics, glass, TVs, phones, and other delicate items, are not covered. Additional insurance only applies to lost parcels.

• Courier collection services between the UK and EU lack insurance protection. Should you require such coverage, please get in touch with us.

• For overseas service (delivery to the required destination), each parcel is insured for USD 100. If you need higher insurance to cover the total value of the contents, select this option using our website's booking system. Note that this insurance costs 5% of the total insured amount. Enhanced insurance covers solely loss of a parcel, not damage, and is valid only upon full payment for the service.

• To comply with insurance requirements, carefully inspect the parcel's contents when signing with the post office representative. Fill out the form in conjunction with the delivery company's representative or postman. Failure to do so will impede the processing of claims.
