£100 Leather coat postage advice please?

Hi

Please can anyone advise me.
I sold a leather coat for just over £100 on Ebay. What is the best way to post it? I know it will cost more than I was allowed to charge but I want to ensure it gets there safely.

Thanks. Most of my items are very small value so this is new to me. :o

  • Royal Mail special delivery, an expensive item needs tracking in case it gets lost. If it does get lost, without tracking you will have to refund your buyer 100%.
  • There are cheaper tracked options (couriers) too - take a look at the postage sticky at the top of the forum.

    Another vote for using a courier.

    all jumping the gun a bit
    OP what postage services did you offer in the listing?
    If you listed RM,then you may annoy a buyer using a courier,and vice versa

    A leather coat will weigh more than 2 kilos, making SD too expensive. If you just want to go and post it, rather than waitng for a courier, Parcelforce 48 would be cheaper and insured up to £100.
