    So you are happy to be a lemming and just carry on getting ripped off?

    You've paid for a service, I think that getting that service is a reasonable expectation, without having to pay an extra fee in case they fail to provide.

    No other industry rips us off quite like it and you are quite happy with that?

    Theres the crux. What did you pay?
    Cant you simply drive top the delivery point yourself to ensure security & safe handling?

    Why when you buy a secondhand car do they sell you an extended warranty on it? Surely it should just work for another 5 years anyway? Actually same with any major electronic item they sell you new.

    I don't think these examples have much relevance. The OP is asking about a service rather than a product.

    I thought RM compensation arose from the Postal Services Act, or something like that - I'm no expert.
