Would appreciate advice about which company sellers have used when selling cameras. Most either show cameras as not deliverable or will not offer any compensation. Any thoughts?
 
I was in the same situation, royal mail all day long ! Evri and yodel wanted £45 and I think they are also on the Prohibited list
 
For deals within UK, RMSD is the only option I would consider. Overseas is a different matter, trouble is that more often than not when item goes over water tracking becomes trickier.
 
Yeah stick with RM we have used a number of delivery services at work and the number of items that get lost or damaged is scary
 
RMSD but maximum value insured is “only’ £2500, if value is above that then the parcel is not covered at all.

Lucky you. They've lost around 30% of the parcels they should have delivered to me in the last three years and around 15-20% for the six years before that.
 
Re: Evri

I bought from M&S and they use Evri, package delivered AOK with proof of delivery. Though in common many such deliveries (all couriers) we did not hear a/the knock on the door.

I am currently awaiting two more Evri delivered parcels (from Craghopper and Regatta)...... hopefully their hub system "works" and our local courier is as good with these two as the M&S one?

Evri have the worst reputation of every courier; however our local evri staff are absolutely bloody brilliant

I'm bright enough to understand that a company with that bad a reputation probably deserves it. Also I'm open minded and astute enough to appreciate great service when I see it. And we get regular deliveries from the local staff who are always happy, charming and efficient.

And here, the Post Office get an extra "O" added to their acronym.

Like Phil, our Evri delivery person is great - happy, charming and efficient (despite [or perhaps because!] he's 6'2, shaven headed, heavily tattooed and muscled!)
 
Well DPD have blotted their reputation with me. Twice this week,

Food delivery from Master Chef on Monday - I just heard something being left on doorstep. No knock or doorbell chime.

Today, a collection for a lens being traded in.... I just happened to be on a call, OH half who was also on a call heard a van, DPD says noone there and nothing to collect. A) I am loud when on a call and B) door bell does work. Long call to people who I am trading in with (not MPB before you ask) with a request that the courier driver rings the effin' doorbell. We have a work edict to be in the office 3/week now and already I have been home 2 days.... not best pleased.
 
Just be aware of issues of any extra batteries. Ones in the camera are fine, but if you're selling with additional Lithium batteries, it can be problematic.

From their site:

You cannot send lithium batteries on their own through domestic or international post. You can send lithium batteries in the UK or international post only when they're contained in a device (except in their Business Response, Freepost, Packetpost and Packetsort services).
