AP will not payout insurance on precious metal as they state in their rules it is not allowed to be posted .
oh well that sucks, I guess it really is at buyers risk. And hope some meth head working in a depot doesn't steal your package.
There are some members who run businesses and can offer transit insurance cover for PMs sent using AusPost.
This is a real problem and I am wondering whether we collectively could take out such a policy under the the SS brand or similar.
If a seller states in their ad "...buyer's risk once posted..." or simiar words to that effect I will not buy and risk my money.
My view has nothing to do with a seller's reputation etc. But if you ask a well established seller to post first they seem to be offended and tell you how good their reputation is!
We must find a solution.
Perhaps some who have transit insurance can comment and enlighten us in how we can protect our our purhases when posted with AusPost.
You can send numismatic coins. So if a numismatic coin was stolen then they should pay the claim.
And yet if you bought this from Australia Post they would send it out to you in the post!
I have had packages sent to me with 'machine parts' written as item description.
