NCL/TS/00083999/KAS-2 NCL/TS/00083999/KAS-2 I submitted a claim for my lost laptop to Taurus three weeks ago, during my travel abroad. The process required an extensive array of documentation—including passport details, a utility bill, the device's invoice, a police report, the device's IMEI number, iCloud information, and more. Despite my compliance in furnishing all requested details, the resolution of my claim continues to stall. A senior case handler has further complicated matters by demanding additional evidence. Even after I provided comprehensive proof such as my airline tickets, hotel accommodations, device invoice, and utility bill for address verification, the requests for more information persist. It appears to me that there is an underlying reluctance to settle the claim, possibly a tactic to merely prolong the process. I am left with a strong impression of a lack of empathy and a disregard for customer trust. Based on my disappointing experience, I strongly advise against opting for Postoffice Gadget Insurance, as it seems they fail to provide the support needed in the event of loss while traveling. I recommend steering clear of this company and reconsidering any plans to secure gadget insurance through them.

Cooperation is key Cooperation, honesty, and providing all the necessary details are essential for the approval of any insurance claims. Although additional information may be required, ensuring that you provide it will increase your chances of approval. If you're purchasing an item off eBay, always request the seller to provide proof of purchase and write a small document to transfer ownership to you. This will be required for any third-party buying. I was able to get my claim approved after providing all the necessary information. People who say these are scam company take a look in the mirror it's you are not being honest with the insurance company they never ignore emails or phone calls they answer honestly. I would recommend this company.

Do Not Touch This Company, replacement phones are not genuine. Do not touch this company. Two reasons, they will try every thing they can to not provide you with a replacement phone if your phone gets stolen. Most importantly, when you eventually get a replacement phone which will take minimum 3 months, this phone will not be genuine. The company provided me with an iphone with a non genuine phone camera. This has been checked by three companies and I have lost out on £300 for this. They informed me that the time it took for me to find out it was not genuine was too long so they can't do anything about it. I am currently pursuing this via the financial ombudsman. Anyone who works for this company should be ashamed of themselves. If anyone else has had this issue please comment as I am trying to get as many customers together as I can to build a case against Taurus and Switched On Insurance. Ignore their reply to my review, they are doing it to save face but they are lying. There is no way they are using genuine Apple components in the replacement phones, they are severely cutting down costs for profit at the expense of customers.

Stress and hassle free experience Contrary to most of the other reviewers, I've had a fantastic experience! Yes you do have to provide plenty of documentation, and there are exceptions and exclusions (this is insurance after all, read the t&cs!), but having provided this and an honest explanation of how I damaged my phone, I'd had my claim approved, phone sent off, repaired and returned in 6 days. I hope to never have to claim again of course, but I certainly wouldn't be anxious to!

For claim regarding a theft of a mobile… DO NOT USE TAURUS INSURANCE. IT IS NOW MORE THAN 4 WORKING DAYS SINCE MY CLAIM WAS APPROVED AND THERE IS STILL NO NOTIFICATION OF REPLACEMENT DEVICE BEING DISPATCHED. I HAVE TO CALL THEM EVERY DAY TO GET UPDATES, AND EVERY DAY THEY MAKE EMPTY USELESS PROMISES THAT 'SOMEONE WILL BE IN TOUCH TOMORROW'. Edit 18th April: 8 working days since submitting claim. Have called Taurus yet again to be told that replacement device has not yet been dispatched from their 'repair partners'. For claim regarding a theft of a mobile phone: - Taurus took more than 3 days to approve (despite extensive evidence). Advertised response of 1-2 days not met. - Only offered a replacement phone and no cash payout. This was approved on day 4, but they failed to order the replacement until the 5th day. Told delivery of replacement would be 2-4 working days. - Its now 5 working days since original claim submitted, after further chasing them, I am told that the replacement device is sent to them, before being sent to me (???) and it is unlikely to be delivered until 11 days after original claim. - This is far beyond the response times advertised when taking out the policy - Taurus staff seem very confused as to why replacement devices may be needed with short turnaround time - I would have been more than happy with compensation, and procuring a replacement device myself, and this would have been far quicker
