I did this as I knew the item was heavier than the label cost allowed for and did not want my buyer paying excess postage at the other end. So I created my own label and indeed the postage came to £6.55.…

Shiply not refunding me
I used this site to find a courier. At the point of paying for the courier I ticked that I would also like a protection plan as it seemed to only be roughly an extra £25.
