    As someone once said " You cannot be serious". Trying to claim off of someone else's insurance for a cardboard box! Some people are just weird.
    The box was yours, not your LL's, so you would have to claim off your own contents insurance I would think. Once the Insurers stop laughing they will tell what your excess will be. Perhaps the likely figure of £50 will bring you to your senses

    Not only will I be claiming for a "cardboard box" but also any time it takes to find a replacement or alternative. Of course, the insurers could take up that responsibility and mitigate their own losses but if they can't be arsed, then so be it.

    Your having a laugh....!!:D:D never heard of a ins co paying out for the "time it take to get replacement".........or a cardboard box for that matter.................no wonder we all pay high premiums , that for other peoples ins claims....!!! whatever next.....

    Anyway, OP please do keep us posted about the results of your insurance claim. Life does not have enough laughs in these straitened times, so any contribution to our general merriment will be warmly welcomed by all of us.
