Simple Delivery : Insurance for high value items

Previously, before 'Simple Delivery' if I was selling a high-value item, I could select the appropriate courier and add in a factor to over any insurance.

If something sold for a lot more than I had expected, I could simple change the delivery option, and pay for the extra coverage myself.

Now however, it seems the standard delivery options only are available.

If I see something, that I hope makes about £400, which courier would | opt for please ?

    If you sell with simple delivery as long as item shows as sent you won’t be liable for loss or damage, so no need to worry about insurance.
