Insurance: Regrettably, Parcelforce do not offer compensation for damage in transit of items made of either glass or ceramics, but we package everything very carefully to minimise the risk. ParcelForce 48 and ParcelForce International Standard services include cover against loss in transit of up to £150 for the normal rate. Increased cover can be obtained, as laid out in the table below:
| premium | Parcel Force 48 increased compensation (up to) | ParcelForce International Standard increased compensation (up to) |
| £12.00 | £500 | £500 |
| £24.00 | £1,000 | not available |
| £36.00 | £1,500 |
| £48.00 | £2,000 |
| £60.00 | £2,500 |
All packages sent overseas must be accompanied by a declaration of their contents for Customs purposes.
(Other ParcelForce services which provide faster delivery are available, but are extremely expensive)
