Dear member,
The loss or damage to the shipment is a common problem amongst courier companies. To safeguard from the contingency of loss or damage, consignors insure their shipments. Did you insure your shipment? Who was to bear the courier charges? Was it the company or you?
The company had allotted a capital asset to you. While separating, it is fair on their part to expect it to be returned in a working condition. Before shipping an asset, you could have spoken with the company about insurance. If the asset is returned with the damaged condition, then they may tell you to pay the damage charges.
One of the options with you is to negotiate with the company so that they just levy from you a depreciated value of the monitor or even lesser.
By the way, you are separating from the company and at this stage, it is advisable to take on the company authorities. A smooth exit is also important.
A few months ago, there was a similar discussion. You may check the following link to refer to the views expressed by me and other learned members:
