A Few Words about Postal Shipping

Strictly speaking, this isn’t our domain but it seemed appropriate to say a few words on the subject.

That’s because we sometimes hear of cases where this has ‘gone wrong’ for a client.

What can sometimes happen is that someone has an object that they’ve left with someone else (a family member perhaps) while they move home. Once in place, they ask for the object to be posted to them via recorded and insured postal services.

So far so good but if it arrives damaged, whether due to poor packing or perhaps more commonly poor postal handling, what can you do about it?

In our experience, there is frequent widespread confusion about just what “insured mail” really means.  Typically, the insurance you pay for ONLY covers you against either the total loss of your package in the mail OR it’s total destruction.

The former of these two is easy to prove. If your parcel has been lost or stolen then it’s gone and the insurance should pay up without question. Read more about postal shipping....... http://www.christchurchremovals.co.nz/a-few-words-about-postal-shipping/
