As said try claiming from the courrier
i wouldn't say it's unreasonable, if he hasn't packaged them up suitably for delivery then you shouldn't lose out costs.
But to try and save either of you losing out on money, see if you can claim 1st

That's a shitter tbf
Hard to say who should pay it tbh until we have heard the other side.
But its obv going to be you will say you shouldn't pay it because you're lights are fine and he's where damaged.
And he will say they where fine when they left him and either the courier or you have damaged them.
This thread won't solve anything unfortunately mate you need to speak between yourselves over PM imo, but one of you will lose out and not be best pleased, but thats how it will go.

Sounds like it was a fail on his part, i would do the same in your situation mate, no fault of your own, couriers should be responsible for damage whilst in their care though...
And the fact you had to use couriers suggests he's not local to you? In which case your car is probably safe

think you are just about right,if he is threathening you keep all correspondence and if you are seriously worried then report it to the police, had this kind of grief from someone as i sold a car elsewhere that he wanted you wouldnt believe the threats i got but it cam to nothing most of the time its just people mouthing off
As below if you havent done so you must return his item, i am guessing the reason yours was dearer to post was due to extra value of your lights
also I would just send the balance if any back aswell just to end the situation.you cant blame the other party because you took time off work to sort the deal that was your choice. they should have sent you useable goods though

Your not being fair , he has sent you shit, you have sent nothing .
You need to send him his light back less £18 for postage costs, you arranged the courier
as for the £17 you lost collecting yours, thats sounds way too expensive. The couriers work on weight & size not if the style of light you are sending. Tuff turkey you chose not to send them
Be fair

Contradicting the original post there abit mate.
You said you have already sent them back and have invoice to prove, now you are saying that you will give him £15 and bin his lights.
How can you bin them if you have sent them back?
