DavecUK tompoland Just check what the insurance covers. Some only cover loss, not damage. That is super sneaky….
Cuprajake That’s why I used interparcel with ups Interparcel provide the ins not ups They broke a grinder hopper and an espresso machine paid out on both
CrownandCanvas Grahamsphillips Depending on how OTT you want to go, sometimes Its not a huge price difference to put the machine on a mini pallet and get a pallet network to arrange it for you. The chances of it getting damaged on a parcel courier vs on a pallet is much slimmer I’ve found.
Grahamsphillips Thanks everyone for your really helpful input. In the end the vendor packed up the machine well for me and we used the SHIPLEY platform. Saved a fortune. Machine is being delivered tomorrow so we’ll see how many pieces it arrives in!
JahLaza Grahamsphillips pardon me for being nosy, but are you the same grahamsphilips from the other forum? Reason I ask is the one before had a Vesuvius and I red a lot of the threads, just wondering about the journey!?
Grahamsphillips Yeap.. I blame @DavecUK for the Niche and the Vesuvius, @lancehedrick for the GEVI and the Tricolate and much else besides. James Hoffman for the Breville Precision ….Not sure whom to blame for the L1 ! I know, I know !
