You are insured but its not a quick process,Pics of the damaged items will also help your case.

how well did you wrap em?

if you just put a bit of brown paper round em stuck down with selatape n stuck em in the system then you get wot you deserve imho,as everything goes through loads of machinery so of course they'll be damaged as glass items,badly wrapped verses f**k off macinery = damage!

but...

if you had bothered to wrap em in bubble wrap,and put em in a descent sturdy box then thats a different matter,and you should be compensated by which ever carrier has damaged em with their sorting machines.

Royal mail tend to pay anyone,no matter how iffy the claim ( :smug:),so i wouldnt worry about it,though as stated before,it might take a while
