Please define your terms by links to articles or websites, show us what you have looked at already using url's. We are very unlikely to google you when you can google yourself. μηδείς (talk) 02:23, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ignore Medeis, he's like that with everyone and he doesn't speak for all of us – certainly not for me. Here are some web pages that you may find useful in comparing parcel systems: [1] [2] [3]. A quick google search didn't turn up anything specific in relation to your last query, but I am sure insurance of some kind is available from all couriers. But the best way to avoid damaging fragile items is to pack them securely – see here for advice on this. Feel free to come back with additional questions. --Viennese Waltz 10:24, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you [all] valuable Wikipedian[s] for your assistance; as always. I'm grateful as always. 119.30.47.189 (talk) 14:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you check out the specific T&C for any insurance or compensation offered, you'll probably find it doesn't cover cases when the content aren't considered sufficiently packed anyway. (That said, there are plenty of cases where packaging is sufficient or at least you're given the benefit of the doubt, but the contents are damaged.)
