Hermes damaged my guitar

I've just sent a guitar to a buyer on Ebay and the buyer is saying one of the tuning forks has been damaged.
I did hear that music instruments are prohibited items so I wont get compensation. I took out cover of upto 100 pound however, does this mean I'll get compensation? Or am I screwed?
Thanks

If musical instruments are not covered then Hermes was a poor choice. How much will it cost to have the tuning fork fixed?0

Yes poor but cheap. He only bought it for 50 pounds with 20 pound postage... I should of not bothered because sending guitars with couriers doesn't work.KatrinaWaves said:If musical instruments are not covered then Hermes was a poor choice. How much will it cost to have the tuning fork fixed?
My guess is the repair will cost atleast 40 but I'm not a guitar engineer0 -
Cheap for a reason.1

You won't receive any payout for sending an item that isn't covered.1

I think DHL shifts guitars, at least I remember the ad senging a guitar to Brian Adams a couple if years ago and think it was DHL.0

OP - assuming you mean tuning peg rather than tuning fork, the buyer can easily replace it. A £10 set of 6 pegs will do the trick.
More of an issue is if the rough handling has damaged the neck.
