I called in to my local Post Office in Blackrock, Dublin today. I was sending an envelope to the U.K. I asked for it to be sent registered post. The cost was €9.70.
When I got home I realised that I had not been asked to declare any value on the item inside the envelope.
Looking up the An Post website I see that items with an undeclared value are only insured up to €25.
The item I was posting had a value of €150.
Should I have been asked to declare the value of the item as part of the registering process?
To pay €9.70 for an item that is only insured for €25, seems crazy.
If I had of known this I would have just put a standard stamp on the envelope and hoped for the best.
