High Value shipping within the UK

[FZ1]

Hi All,

 

I need to post a sword within the UK, but the highest value insurance cover I can find is Parcelforce at £2,500.  Does anyone know of any carriers that will provide higher cover?

 

Any assistance much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon

Hi Jon 

parcelforce will not handle swords/blades if they know that is what it is. I suspect that means their insurance would be invalidated anyway if a problem occurred. Have a look at their terms and conditions, in particular the “prohibited items”. I know it’s a nightmare sending anything now and I can’t give you a viable alternative. I urge caution. If it’s really valuable how about meeting the recipient halfway and handing it over? Peace of mind…….

regards.  Colin

Thanks Colin, I hadn't spotted that in their Ts&Cs.

 

Yes, a meet-part-way is looking increasingly likely!

Parcelfarce wont insure anything described as antique.

 

Maybe try someone else like UPS or as mentioned, hit the road.
