    I think she means in case of buyer claiming Item Not Received.

    Sweetcheeks - that is a false economy if you really want to make sure your buyer receives it. A lot of the time recorded doesn't actually show delivery anyway, meaning you're still screwed if the buyer doesn't get it, and you can't claim for items any more expensive than normal mail protects anyway.

    Certificates of posting, recorded makes no difference as ceramic and glass items are specifically excluded from compensation. The OP needs to pack much better as they are never going to be insured.

    The item was not packed sufficiently. Simple as that.
