Short answer
Courier insurance complaint enquiries should identify the courier, broker or marketplace, booking terms, declared value, insurance or enhanced-cover wording, tracking, proof of postage, packaging evidence, damage photographs, claim decision, complaint stage and any chargeback or ombudsman route. Legal4U cannot decide whether cover applies.
