Laptops and Couriers

Options
Hi

Who has suggestions on couriers either direct or broker [p2g, parcelmonkey, interparcel etc] that accept damage compensation on laptops and not just loss?

    If they're below 1kg Royal Mail is probably your best option. Some others available up to 2kg but I'd still go for RM.
    I can't tell if this is a one off or a business. If the latter you may be able to negotiate with couriers to insure.
    There are some other traders on here who may know specifically.

    If it is a business you can pack well and take on the risk yourself. A lot of people send fragile items either too expensive to insure or excluded from compensation.

    You accept the risk of damage which would be your loss but is balanced by the savings made in not paying for insurance on each shipment.

    I always wonder when the OP never comes back to a thread whether they have forgotten it or just don't like the responses.
