[XA04]

I'm going to put an old printer of mine on ebay, it will send via first class Royal Mail, how much shall I charge for postal insurance?

Thanks

Been looking on Google and royal mail's website and couldn't see anything. I can't see anything there for postal insurance?

£4 sound fair? or cheaper?

its right in the link, 1.25 will get you 1000 of compensation, so unless its an a3 colour laser or some crazy plotter 4 quid is a rip off, but a lot of items on ebay rip you off for postage, so i suppose its up to you.

Alrighty, 1.25 it is. Thanks

Dont go to the post office, gets mugged instead- it will cost you less

Dunno how much you're printer will go for, but they now include £30 free insurance on first and second class... just ask for a receipt.

They always have offered insurance up to 100x the value of a first class stamp. A Certificate of Posting is what you need (although the receipts that the post offices round here now issue have a space for the guy on the counter to write in the postcode which I dare say is as good).

XA04, postage on a printer is likely to bo considerable, I hope you've weighed it....parcel post will probably be your best bet, anyway.

I havn't weighed it, but I checked the prices on Royal Mail's website, and checked on websites for the weight (2.3kg), so I'm just going to charge a tenner for the postage. Most other people seem to be charging the same for sending printers.

What printer is it?

Is it worth the effort?

HP deskjet 3650.

My dad said he would buy the printer off me a few months ago, and I let him have it early but he hasn't paid me a penny so I took it off him and am selling it on ebay.

Staples the stationers are agents for DHL, they'll send pretty much anything you can carry in the shop for £8 next day, only includes £100 insurance though
