Hear hear...

I had two claims with the PO, neither successful simply because they grind
you to death with details and bullshit.
More importantly, I was the seller in both cases. *I* purchased the
insurance, even though the buyer 'paid' for it - to me. Thus I was the one
who had to file a claim and subsequently satisfy the buyer. This is
especially true when shipping abroad. Ergo it's up to the seller to
anticipate loss or damage in shipment and have a method of covering it. How
the seller chooses to fund this is up to the seller.
Asking for proof of 'what-if' is silly. As in "IF my parcel got lost, how do
I know you WOULD have covered it?". Doh...
