Even without added insurance, it's likely the shipping company might offer a limited amount of compensation as standard. For example Parcelforce offer £100 on the majority of their services: https://www.parcelforce.com/help-and-advice/sending/inclusive-compensation
A claim requires sight of the packaging though 😬
