Best courier to post Monitor with?

TNA · 12 Sep 2010 at 08:38

I have been looking for a courier that would provide insurance for posting my Dell 30" monitor. So far I have looked at companies like interparcel, parcel2go, parcelforce, dhl and they all class the monitor as a restricted item which means no insurance if it breaks during transit.

Does anyone know of a courier that provides insurance on posting monitors?

Thanks

lol @ the responses. I think you guys just read the title and replied.

As mentioned parcelforce do not provide cover for monitors. If it gets damaged then though luck... As for royal mail, do they do special delivery for items that are 20kg? As far as I know they go up to 10kg so that's no good.

Any other suggestions?

Did you read my post? I already checked with parcel2go. It's an restricted item. So no insurance

As for parcelforce, an item posted through a courier goes through at least 7-8 people by the time it get's to the other end.

I will call Fed Ex and DPD today, maybe they will do it.

I just called DPD and Fed Ex and they won't do it either

I will looked at parcelmonkey. Thanks for the link.

As for Royal Mail. On their website maximum weight I see is 10kg which is not enough. I need around 20kg.

The buyer of the monitor called parcelforce and asked if they would insure it and was told that monitors fall under the category of glassware which they do not insure.

When exactly did you guys post off monitors and when you did, did you speak to someone? I mean no point paying for insurance and then later they will just say, but it's an restricted item and won't cover you. If it was a long time ago maybe their policies have changed since regarding insurance.

Either way I will find out about this shortly
