Posting a saddle insured

Weighs approx 7kg and is selling for £1250
What’s the best safest option to send that doesn’t cost the earth

 

[Barton Bounty]

Always parcelforce for expensive items

I have always sent royal mail which is parcel force never had a problem.

 

[SEL]

Parcel force for the WOW saddle I recently bought

 

[J&S]

Yes, Parcelforce.

 

[poiuytrewq]

Any idea roughly how much?
I’ll get it boxed up and get a quote this morning

 

[poiuytrewq]

Parcel force insured for £1300 which is actually less than it’s worth is £91.50!!

How far is it. I'd be tempted to drive if it could be done in a day.

 

[poiuytrewq]

3.5 hours each way. I haven’t got time for that really. (Or the inclination!)
I had arranged with my local saddlery to drop
It I’m with them this week and they will buy it. Not for what I wanted but I’m thinking after this buyer had made an offer, PayPal fees etc it may just not be worth it.

How on earth do people send them for the standard £20 or £25!

That doesn't sound right I've never paid that much to send a saddle and I do make sure it's covered for the full price.

Although most saddles I've sold have not been worth over £1,000 so maybe that's why

Not insured. FedEx is about the cheapest for insurance.
