Ah, good point Dave! But I think there was no damage to the packaging,
which Parcelforce might then claim as evidence that the damage was not done
by them. And you have to claim within 30 days in any case.

You are right Piers, however if he sent it by Parcel Force, I understand
that the standard tariff includes the provision to pay "compensation" for
loss or damage up to a maximum of £150 which can be the repair cost. I do
not think you are required to declare an "insured value"; simply supply
proof of posting, evidence of receipt in a damaged state and e.g. a written
estimate for repair.
(I'm not an expert so I will happily stand corrected if I am talking
nonsense)
