All details of postal costs and insurance are clearly shown on invoices and choices for faster or cheaper services are usually given. Parcels are the responsibility of the purchaser and the postal services when we have posted them according to your instructions. We keep full details of packaging and certificates of posting in case any items are lost or delayed. (In our experience parcels that are properly labelled rarely go astray. In 29 years only a few items have been lost in the post - BUT more has been going missing since 2005 both in the UK and overseas, than ever before.)
