I won a coffee maker on ebay at auction, seller chooses EVRI. I was reading their terms and conditions out of interest and noticed coffee makers are a prohibited item and excludes protection. https://international.evri.com/prohibited-items --- Quote ---Prohibited Items: The following items (or any item similar in description or content) can not be carried on any service. Any person sending such an item may be subject to their order being cancelled without notice: Aerosol Aftershaves Air Bag Alcoholic Beverages Ammunition Animals of any form (alive or dead) Any Item Containing Petrol (Liquid, Gas Or Fumes) Aromatherapy Oil Bathroom Suites Batteries Biological Samples *Camera *Canoes / Kayaks *Car Panel Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards Chainsaw Cheques *Christmas Crackers Concrete *Confectionery Counterfeit Currency Credit/Debit/Cash Cards Dangerous Goods Documents (Outside The EU) Driving Licence *Drugs (including prescription) Engines *Filth Fire Extinguisher Fish (live or dead) Food Food Items (Perishable Goods) Fragrance Gardening And Household Tools - Gardening And Household Tools, Unless Properly Protected *Gearbox Gun Hazardous Goods Human Remains Infectious substances Ingestible Items Item Described As "Unknown" *Jewellery Juice *Kitchen Appliances – White Goods/Coffee Machines/Microwaves Knives *Ladders Leather (Landmark) Lighter Lights/Lighting/Lamps/Chandeliers Liquids/Creams/Oils Lottery Tickets *Mattresses Meat *Medical Equipment Milk Powder (restricted in China) Minerals (Landmark) Mobile Phone with or without Sim to any Residential address in Turkey/Pakistan Money/Cash/Currency Nail Varnish Oil Paint Paintings/Canvas Prints Passport Perfumes *Perishable Good *Perishable Goods (all) Plant *Printer Toner Protein/Health Shakes (myHermes, Landmark) Replica Weapons *Seatbelt Tensioner *Settee Sharp Instruments - E.G.

Filth? What nonsense. Am I missing common sense? How is it practical to capture "filth" and send it in the post. Sounds stupid/insance to me.Why would anybody want to do that and how would they know or care? Joke: I suppose I could scrape off some filth somewhere whether it be off some old tiles or a wall, put in a letter and send it off. I was looking at the No Protection items below: --- Quote ---No Protection items: The following items (or any item similar in description or content) can only be carried on a no protection basis on any service. Any person sending such an item does so at their own risk: Amber Antique Bottles Bulbs *Ceramics/Figures/Figurines *China/Porcelain *Clock *Coffee Machines ***Computer Monitor/Imac Crockery/Pots/Pottery *Crystal Delicate Items Detergent Diamonds *Documents Fiberglass Fish Tank *Fishing Rods **Fragile Items (all) Framed Painting/Photograph Gems or gemstones *Glass/Glassware *Hamper Lampshades *Lenses Marble *Microscope Microwave Mirror Ornament Over Head Projector Packaging/Media Packaging Pewter Figures Picture Frames *Poster *Precious Metals (Gold/Silver/Platinum Etc.) *Projector Real Fur Resin *Scanner *Sewing/Knitting Machine *Shower Screen *SIM Cards *Stoneware Suitcases/ Flightcases (Not acceptable as packaging) *Television *Tiles *Torches *Turntables Vase *Velux Vermiculite Board *Watch --- End quote --- Coffee maker... I hope that turns up okay. If coffee makers are prohibited why is it on that list. I could understand if the item wasn't packaged well and they had packaging requirements to protect items but they could just claim the item was "**fragile" and refuse the claim on that basis. --- Quote ---Special Provisions: Amplifiers - maximum Parcel Protection value for damages is £200.00, up to £1,000.00 for lost items. Apple Mac/Macpro - maximum Parcel Protection value for damages is £0.00, up to £1,000.00 for lost items. (iMacs are protected for loss only) Banjo/Guitar/Cello/Violin - maximum Parcel Protection value for damages is £100.00, up to £1,000.00 for lost items. Musical instruments must be sent in a hard case. --- End quote --- If Imac is in "No Protection items" why is there a special provision for it or do they mean something different. Just had a look and Imac and Apple mac seems to me to be the same thing. https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/buy-mac/imac/green-24-inch-8-core-cpu-7-core-gpu-8gb-memory-256gb Customise your Green 24‑inch iMac with Apple M1 chip. https://www.apple.com/uk/mac-pro/ Actually I see it covers laptops and desktop but excludes the all in one models. The next seller I buy something that is delicate and hard to find and on that list I got to warn them about Evri and I don't mind paying more for another courier. What do you think? |

It's probably prohibited because if it has glass, the courier's nightly football match risks breaking it. Generally, with Evri/Hermes don't send anything that wouldn't survive a 6 foot drop or is worth more than £50 ish. Asking why some items are in the list is probably just down to the type of items that are most frequently claimed against, they don't make any money on the insurance if you actually claim after all. |

EVRI are shite, and would not trust them to deliver crap from bum to toilet Imo, the UK gov should close them down. |

Regardless of what they use, still on the seller to ensure it gets to you in one piece. Many people used to use "Media mail" in the US, which is specifically for books and movies. But 99% of the time putting other stuff in there turned out OK. Or Purolator here has a fixed rate "Express envelope" for paper documents, I've received big metal bars in those. |

Would deliver something myself rather than use them ever again. |
