When you buy a Parcelforce Worldwide service, compensation is included as standard. It’s important to check that the compensation offered adequately covers the item you’re sending. If it doesn’t you may want to purchase additional compensation. You can do this at the point of purchase in your Post Office branch, either at a counter or using the self-service kiosk machines.
