I hate Royal Mail

Is there any other business sector that is allowed to limit its liability for negligence unless the customer pays extra? Can't think of any?
 
Call me cynical, but if someone else posted a thread about something like this you'd be looking for any angle to start ripping them to shreds. So considering your complete lack of compasion to other people who make mistakes with their property I personaly couldn't give a **** about your phone.
 
The key part from the website was posted earlier and ignored.

"We don't charge for postage, handling or any transaction fees, but if your device(s) are of value, we recommend you take the extra step of paying to track and insure your package using Special Delivery guaranteed service, available at all Post Offices®. "

Seems simple to me reading that. If the phone was worth less than £40 a certificate of postage could be obtained for free, or if a signature was required then recorded delivery.

If the phone is worth considerably more than £40 then Special Delivery should be used as in the event of the phone being damaged, lost or the third option that is being implied the standard service only covers you for £40 so special delivery covers the extra value of the item.
 
couldnt you send lots of parcels (with a packet of winegums or something equally low value inside) to a distant relative or similar.. dont buy the extra insurance, chances are a lot will go missing...start claiming £39 for each one that does not arrive...

profit?

You could try but you would soon be investigated if you were making multiple claims!

The reality is they would most likely be delivered ok and you would just have wasted money on the wine gums, padded envelopes and postage costs!

Your distant relative would probably be quite happy though!!!
 
We are getting hardly any post atm... Nothing, nada for the last 2 days now.

This is stupid, I am waiting on 2 cheques and if I don't get them by the end of this week my bike will be off the road, stopping me being able to get to work and me shelling out of my savings for the payments from servicing the bike.

Absolute stupid, post is a serious thing to toy around with, hope they understand that!

Is it wrong that I smiled when I realised the perfectly prepared Mr Fox who has never made a mistake in his life did exactly that?

Love you dearly and all that but it is nice to see that the old saying 'What goes around comes around' still holds true!
