Cracks due to long overseas postal handling. To avoid GST tax, client under-declared instruments made insurance claim neligible, if any. Sad story. But lesson learnt. S$2000 mistake.
It's cheaper to:-
1- pay for fast courier
2- pay for your insurance
3- pay for GST by correct valuation of instruments
