Hi
I need to send a camera and lens into Canon for service but insurance to this value seems hard to find - what do other people do when sending gear by courier / post ? whats the best method ?
Thanks

What is the approx value of what you are sending back ?

£500 for the Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm™ service or the market value whichever is the lower and the fee repaid.

You can increase RMSD insurance up to £2500 for an additional fee

isn't canon at Elstree ? if so I'd drop it off and collect it as its only 13 miles from central London.

Check your gear insurance, you should be covered for equipment in transit
