All Sendparcel.com services include standard cover up to 100 EUR. If your shipment’s value is higher than that of a standard cover, we recommend ordering additional insurance up to full value of your items. Remember, insurance (both standard and additional) is not valid when you send Prohibited and/or No compensation items.
- Should I sign for a damaged parcel?
Yes. If a parcel is delivered to you damaged, please sign for it and specify the fact of damage. If you mark that parcel was delivered in good condition, you will lose the right to claim for a refund and compensation.
- Is it necessary to save the damaged packaging?
Packaging must be saved in case damaged items need to be examined along with it. Otherwise you may lose the right to claim compensation.
- What is the maximum compensation for a lost/damaged parcel?
The maximum compensation amount in case of parcel damage or loss depends on insurance that you select at the time of booking. All
Sendparcel.com parcels have a standard cover of €100 per shipment included. If your item is valuable/expensive, we recommend ordering additional insurance. The cost of this service is 2 percent of the amount insured, but no lesser than 10 EUR (or 10 GBP, or 15 USD) + VAT (if applied) and cannot exceed declared value of your parcel. Make sure that your items are not listed as
