Selling 48" OLED TV - what courier to use to have insurance?

[phinix]

I've been trying to find a courier who would give insurance for delivering TV.
I have a 48" OLED TV (LG CX) and so far cannot find any courier who would cover delivery with their insurance - all say that TVs are not covered.
How the hell shops deliver TVs - are they all not insured?

The telly isn't BNIB and the couriers won't risk it. Not sure there is an insured transport method for used tellies.

i've always used UPS for sending monitors, never had an issue with them before. Monitors are covered with them anyway, but not checked TV's

if they cover monitors, then definitely will cover TV - I need to check them, thanks.

But people must sell monitors and TVs ans somehow deliver them. Mine is actually new and have original box and its packed well, like from the shop.
Small monitors would be easier to pack securely, but TVs have their own boxes and are pretty sturdy inside. Simple "do not throw around" should be their suggestion

I have used parcel force for monitors with no problem. Sent one to Netherlands once and it was ok

only ever used UPS/DPD for this type of an item never had any problems but i know sending them fully insured in expensive like £100 and is a mine field of did you pack it right and was it working before you sent it

They do, but it's mostly uninsured as you've seen by the lack of insurance.

In my experience, fragile means please destroy this item!

its just like pc's i sold a few of my old pc's and always taken a hit on price as i wont post them.
only ever sent one and it got there ok but the buyer got home from work just as the delivery man was putting it behind the bin in the rain
but most pc get delivered like they have been in the washing machine. company's like PDP tell drivers to take care with OcUK pc's but when you post one and you not a massive contract holder there get zero poo's about your uninsured parcel

I'm dropping the price of it by £200 just so delivery could be covered. But dont know how bad it would be.
I may deliver it myself...
