Nutz, have you contacted the mods about this as I think going to court is a bit extreme unless they can't do anything. It will only cause you inconvenience.

but the fact is, you sent the parcel back to stu with inadequate insurance. I'm affraid there is no legal standing saying "if its posted, its delivered". I would be very doubtfull if that would stand up in a small claims court.

Any good legal representation would take it apart in minutes if you went through small claims 
Your welcome to waste even more of your time and money.

You wanted it to be public

What if the postman left it on the door step????
I think its time to take it further yes if you wish
I've spoken to stu over this matter & adamant that no marker has been received..
i've sent a pm to you with my mobile number if it helps..
Seems to me as though you (Nutz) are holding Grieve responsible (by default) for The Royal Mail's inability to deliver a parcel, and for it's under-insurance.
Aspects such as legalities of selling to minors etc is academic and pointless, as are the threats to sue, these are just hot air I'm afraid because you know full well you ain't gonna bother going down that road..As far as Grieve is concerned, he took the money and sent the marker, it subsequently turned up in less than good order to which Grieve responded by saying he would repair it....the important thing to note here is, everything Grieve has done and said up until this point, is above reproach.
This all starts to go titz up when the RM fail to deliver and you do not adequately insure the transit item, and both of these issues are not, and were not, the responsibility of Grieve.
In both those considerations, Grieve had no culpability whatsoever.
Now unless I have gotten things wrong (which is always possible) the primary problem isn't Grieve at all, it is RM and then this was made worse by the secondary problem, that of under-insurance.

If it's a legal action and no one else's business why make this thread
If this does go to court I'd suggest this sort of action won't serve to help matters so if you post about it and invite comments you can't complain when you get some
Ollie, this ain't going anywhere near court mate; for the monies involved, it really ain't worth the hassle or expenditure and from where I sit, there's far too many grey areas to be sure of any outcome whatsoever other than it to be thrown out.If it's a legal action and no one else's business why make this thread

Baisicly sums it up.
Unless you have SOLID PROOF that the marker was delivered (eg his signature) most solicitors will probably laugh at you for walking through the door.
And why did you not send it insured for a decent amount? When I send out my markers I send them insured for the NEW PRICE as by manufacturer, it costs pence... like £1 to be insured for £500?
Im sorry, but unless you can provide something more substantial than your word vs his, the responsibility is purely in your hands to provide the evidence he now has the marker in his possession.
