I agree the value isn't £750 but presumably equally the part isn't worthless otherwise it wouldn't have been viable to pay for a repair.
*Assuming £750 is a fair price to replace the second hand part, if OP purchased their replacement as a brand new part they'd be better looking at refurbished value minus the cost of repair for a more accurate value.0 -
EVRI Insurance isn't worth the paper it is written on. The items they will not pay compensation for swamps those for which they will. Also, just because you received a package containing say... gas canisters, a bladed item or alcohol (not an exhausted list), sent by a company and delivered by Evri does not mean you can send those items as an individual. They are ALL on Evri list of restricted items. According to Evri, explosives, knives and booze are not dangerous if sent by a company! See the lists below and see how many items you have received from Evri's corporate clients which are on these lists. Items you can't send or won't be compensated for.
I know one Evri Courier who uses their car to deliver. They were expected to deliver multi-packs of butane gas containers. After packing their car, they got in to drive away but got a feint whiff of gas and stopped. The butane package had been damaged and gas was leaking. In the back of a large enclosed wagon you may just have a chance of getting away relatively unharmed, but in the enclosed space of a car it could be lethal. On the other hand if it was sent by one of Evri's corporate clients it would be safe, because they say only butane gas from individual senders explodes.Excluded from compensation

But if you fail to read what is excluded. Can't blame the courier.🤷♀️Life in the slow lane1 -
I'm still waiting foe evri to deliver my package, it was due on the 21st of July, and it's now the 30th of July, they have made several excuses and will no longer answer my emails, so I have passed on my concerns to my local mp.1

The sender is, and they need to get onto EVRI and get things moving, re-send the item, or refund you, depending on the outcome.Your MP is unlikely to help you get your stuff any time soon, unless they moonlight for EVRI!0

Very little of use, which was my point. Are you suggesting that @Arthurdent18610 MP will, in fact, get their parcels delivered?0
