Insured delivery service

Royal Mail do one but at £40 there and back seems rather steep for what is in effect a cd player to which i am having a new clock fitted. Could go for a standard courier but would worry if the parcel gets thrown around, or am i worrying too much? Any suggestions? The parcel has to go to Mansfield and back.

Re: Insured delivery service

Well you can't guarantee a parcel won't be thrown about if left to its own devices in the back of a van. Make sure you package it securely regardless of who you choose (I have only ever used RM next day and have had zero problems). Make sure it cannot move inside the box. I myself have stocked up on a nice supply of air-plastic bag balloon things. They're cool
