The next time I see a postie...

[Lads2000]

Just had a wonderful experience at the PO, really makes me question if I should use them in the future. I went in to send my mothers day card, long story short I have been away all week and not possible to get there before today. asked to send it so that it was delivered tomorrow, the lady behind the counter says "thats ?7.15"

It'll probably be cheaper to send it by hand delivered courier....

Quick and quiet method of 'eliminating' someone is required. Yet another special/recorded delivery which wasn,t even attempted. I mean, this is a clear case of fraud, surely...

Have you considered small claims court?

My postman is an A1 arsehole. He threw a parcel at my wife one morning as she took a couple of minutes to get to the door.

And it's nothing to do with the fact that you have more parcels delivered than the entire street put together and the postie would probably be home 4 mins earlier without them.

Aye use a courier. People smell valuable packages and they go missing. Or if you want to use RoyalMail disguise those packages if possible and make it look uninteresting.

Otherwise try DHL or CityLink.

There's a fairly simple system for claiming for non-delivery. Just pick up a few forms (at your local Post Office!) and fill them in. I always have a few spare at home. If there's no dispute you'll have a cheque, for the contents value plus the postage charge, on your doormat (if your lucky) within a few weeks, as long as it's adequately insured.
