As if they'd actually destroy an expensive camera. Someone's got it.
This!
Sounds like a scammer within the company .
Surely if you are insuring a package for two thousand pounds you have to tell them whats in it in the insurance description?
I would assume hats how they know what is in it.
However, if you have told them and they accept the delivery, the they can't back out later.
I want an update OP.
Sounds more like someone has seen it under the scanner and decided they wouldn't mind a 2k camera so has 'destroyed' it and used the battery as cover
Or even that someone's dropped/smashed it and to stop a claim they have used this as an excuse
What I would be wanting to know is
Why did they accept it to deliver ?
Why didn't they contact you before destroying ?
Why didn't they just destroy the battery ?
Where's their evidence of destruction ? (Bearing in mind at my work we have to take photos of things worth even just a quid before binning/destroying )
Might be worth telling them you did stick a li po warning on the parcel. Up to them to find out which person who touched the parcel(everyone along the line signs for SD) removed it !
Shake things up a bit...
