Hi,
i sold an iphone via Ebay and sent with Hermes via packlink.
The parcel arrived at the buyers address with delivery not of posted to letterbox!
there was a pic of a fairly flat packet poking out of the letter box which looked like the side was ripped and the consumer later on emailed me a pic of what they received ( an empty parcel with the side ripped open).
As this is obvious theft and not lost its technically not covered under the loss and damage cover.
Now
Just an update, I started a claim through moneyclaim and hermes requested more time as to be expected. In the mean time I took 1 last shot at emailing Packlink claims after they auto refunded the £25 compensation and I emailed them the claim form which ended up being escalated to a manager and this morning I've received an email offering a full refund minus the £25 they have already refunded.
