Insurance

 

Loss of parcels sent by any means is extremely rare, well under 1%. From the reports from customers about 95% of parcels arrive in good condition and with no damages. For an additional payment of 10% customers may insure their parcel against loss or damage. It is a simple "NO QUIBBLE" insurance; we will replace any lost parcels or damaged items. The cover is as follows:

Parcels Lost in the Post - Most parcels sent by Surface Post arrive within 60 days and by Express Mail with 15 days. However very occasionally parcels are delayed for long periods. When we post a parcel we email or post by airmail a dispatch advice note. If the parcel has not arrived within 4 months of dispatch in the case of Express Mail, and 8 months in the case of Surface Post then contact us so that we can arrange a replacement parcel to be sent.

Parcels sent by DHL – These can be tracked on-line and usually arrive in 3 – 6 days anywhere. If a parcel has not arrived within 1 month of dispatch, and cannot be traced we would send a replacement.

Parcels lost by Airfreight - Parcels should arrive within a few days of dispatch and certainly within 3 weeks, to date no airfreight parcel has ever gone missing. Airfreight parcels have Airwaybill Numbers and this will be posted to you by airmail, or sent by e-mail, the day after dispatch. If the parcel has not arrived within 3 weeks of dispatch contact the destination airport and quote the Airwaybill Number; this should immediately trace the parcel. If this fails then contact us. If we cannot trace the parcel from this end the order will be redone and dispatched again.

Damage to Contents - In each insured parcel there is a form to be completed. In the event of any damages simply complete the form and post or fax it to us and a replacement will be sent. Please note that due to the high cost of sending small packets by Air Freight, or Express Mail normally all replacements will be sent by Surface Post.
