Hi,
Has anyone else noticed Aust. Post parcel insurance is a waste of money when selling on ebay. If an item is broken during shipment the buyer must make the claim by taking the broken item and parcel to the nearest post office. If the buyer doesn't want to do this and reports to ebay then you are fully responsible to reimburse the buyer. If you are a seller and you have successfully claimed compensation for a broken item thru Australia Post, drop me a comment.

For your future reference, instead of dragging up an old thread from yesteryear while adding nothing of any relevance, perhaps you should simply start your own thread - just saying

·3 years agoI understand the OP's frustration, but I can also understand that buyers are not always able to go to the post office.
People buy online for a reason. Some buyers don't even drive a car. Some work full time and cannot take a couple of hours off their work just to go to the post office with the broken item. At the end of the day, it could cost them more than the refund if it is a relatively cheap item.

·3 years agoIt is worse for business sellers as you need your own insurance as Aust Post only cover you for what you paid for the item not what you sold it for.

·3 years agoAh do you really expect Australia Post to pay the insurance if someone doesnt take it back to them to show and prove that AP broke it.
Plus if you pack it right it won't break

·3 years agoPadi's right.
Simply put, pack it better - double box it if you have to.
Rarely will you win with APost.

·3 years agoFor breakages you are very unlikely to get compensation unless you can prove you packed the item to withstand a 20Kg weight dropped on it from waist height.
