Do you know where i stand this is what is Q on thier website
Delivery & Postage costs:
Products will be sent to UK Mainland addresses using Royal Mail First Class Post, free of charge where the in stock shipped items total is over £30. Shipped orders up to £30 will have a £2 charge levied.
95% of First Class post normally arrives the next day, this however is NOT a guaranteed service and can take longer. Please note that First Class post only has an insurance value of upto £30 for products that do not arrive within 15 working days. This is the maximum we can claim on your behalf for lost items, less the cost of postage.
So in my terms comes across as if they will not replace the goods but just give you refund for £30.
Surely this is wrong or pushing the limits?
Wonder what you guys think about this & past experience.

No, this is correct. They have stated that the insurance limit is £30, and that orders over that value are sent at your own risk. One would assume they offer the option of insured delivery also.
The responsibility for whether the item gets to you is the Royal Mail's, not the retailer's.
