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.
Coins and bsnknotes to face value of $200.

How do you know it was stolen from the depot? Did AP say that?
Packages often end up at the wrong post office and can take weeks to arrive at the correct one.
What is the last tracking entry?
