Most compamies won't touch glassware,


When trying to post a 14" monitor via Royal Mail .... in its original
packaging, the guy behind the counter spots the box, which was obviously a
monitor box ...

Him: "We can't offer compensation on that, it's glassware".

Me: "So anything containing glass is glassware is it?"

Him: "Erm. Hold on ..."

Glad I didn't point out that it contains some ceramic disc capacitors,
as they don't cover ceramics either!

Duh.

It's great having rules, it's better knowing how and when to apply them.
