Default x40 front grill

Bought, tried and not keen. It doesn't look right on a silver car. Takes a bit of fiddling but does fit quite well for an after Mkt item.
Just want back what I paid out on it £25 postage through Hermes would be £3.50 on top

NB: you might find Royal Mail is cheaper, depends on the packed dimensions, but it hardly weighs anything and usually under 2KG they are cheaper.

Myhermes is cheaper for such items like this. Royal mails small parcel is £3.70 and doesn't cover this size. Plus its untracked with Royal Mail which as we all know with royal mail means "it'll probably get lost/nicked.

As long as you get a Certificate of Posting (free from post office) it's insured up to £20, which doesn't help much if it gets lost or smashed, but you do get a refund of postage and compensation for the item value (printout of eBay or PayPal receipt or PM from the forum agreeing price).

MyHermes and Collect+ also only insures up to £20 as standard but you can pay the extra for insurance on higher amounts.

I always use www.parcel2go.com for pricing up quotes from various couriers, but nearly always tend to go with MyHermes, as the shop is just around the corner.

I must say I've only lost one parcel with RM in the last 20 years, and that was sent tracked.... Hermes have smashed one and lost one... all fully insured.
