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)
