Insurance

Post by Sir Bragallot »

Do you take insurance, or not? Or does it depend on the order / seller for you? I've done a couple of uninsured orders that arrived without a problem, but I still find myself taking insurance most of the time...

Mainly because I have never really trusted military mail, I pretty much always insure everything -- in or outbound.

The rare times I am in the states, it depends on the amount spent on the order.

I usually don't bother paying for insurance. I won't buy from a seller that is not reputable, and the odds of a package being lost are pretty slim.

On smaller ones I don't but larger ones or especially ones with rare sets / pieces I do. Hardly noticed the added cost.

I've never bought insurance, not even for international transactions. I've never had a problem.

For me it depends. If it's something on the rare side I might, but for the most part I don't. I haven't had too much trouble so far.

I've never requested insurance, but I also rarely have orders that are worth more than $20-$50. If I was buying something internationally or something very expensive/rare, then I might request insurance.

I don't require insurance from any of my buyers either. Basically, it's buyer beware. If they want insurance, then I'm happy to provide it at cost.
