Wow I hope you get something back out of this. It seems ridiculous to me to destroy the entire package...
As others have said, how did they know precisely what was in it? If you told them when you sent it they should not have accepted it, if you didn't then they for some reason decided to open your package...
How was it destroyed? Why could you have not been contacted to collect it?

Sounds like BS to me, i've had 100's of standalone battery packs, and devices with batteries shipped via royal mail.

Did you have a return address on it OP?
(Not trying to stick up for RM but if no return address how do they contact you? Really they should be asking for your contact number these days.)

I've sent items with batteries included couple of times and I've never had this issue. (I even sent one few days ago and it arrived fine.)
Sounds like it's stolen, considering how expensive the camera/lens is.

That is crazy, who came up with (apparent) idea that anything that contains batteries must instantly be destroyed. Last few times I have posted things I have been asked whether it has got batteries in. Every time I said no though did realise afterwards one of the items was a motherboard, figured if they picked it up I could claim ignorance.
Really hope you get it sorted though, would be interesting to know how they found out it had batteries if you didn’t tell them though. “Oh this package looks interesting, like it could contain something valuable I think I will open it – there’s batters it must be destroyed instantly! I think the best way to destroy is if I take it home.”

potentially. depends on the conditions stated on their web page. deemed a potential fire hazard if the batteries are not correctly packaged.
they have been warning about this restriction coming into force for some time though. id expect other couriers to follow suit too.

ABSOLUTELY this

Anything sent by air will be x-rayed to check for prohibited items in line with CAA regulations. Because of the next day guarantee a substantial amount of SD items are sent by air.

Recently sent a monitor via Royal Mail Special Del, was asked if it contained any batteries, which obviously it didn't but I got the impression they would have labelled it as such if needed.
Sounds really fishy to me hope you get it sorted Op

a lipo fire was listed as the cause of a ups plane crash some years ago everyone got paranoid at that point and hobbyking had to change their shipping routes because of it.
maybe RM finally caught on
They probably suspected and scanned it or something.

Even if they did find batteries in the package, there is no way they would have destroyed the camera! It has to be a con by them. I would take legal advice mate.
