Shayper, have another look for your receipts, if you can find them you can claim for lost parcels which will recoup some of your losses.
Hold off for the next week and if the parcel hasn't arrived then by all means send another. Just a shame you couldn't afford the recorded at the time, as it would have saved you a lot of hassle.
Hope everything gets sorted though

Yes, my loan has now come through
I have the gift here in front of me, it's a handmade unique piece of jewellery, I hope she enjoys this

Yeah, I'll have another look when I get back to uni tomorrow.
All of the presents are similar, handmade jewellery worth about 20 quid a piece

He's lost the receipt.
I think Shayper is confused the level of service Royal Mail offered.
Standard firsts class post, ask for receipt and you can claim should parcel is lost, I think the value is around £32?
First class recorded, you get a signature on the other end, cost £0.75 extra for that red sticker and the claim value is same as first class post. In reality it get there no faster but you get that signature. The thread required this.
Royal mail special delivery, before 1pm. This is the expensive one and guarantee next day delivery, insured value £500+
Royal mail special delivery before 9am, same as above but guaranteed before 9am, cost even more.
I don't think there is a service call "tracked"? Unless its new?

This is the bit I find hardest to believe, you could not afford the 79p or something but could afford to get wasted every weekend.
P.s. thought you said you sent it? Or do you have another "unique" piece of jewellery?
I have no reason to lie? I don't want to be banned from these forums, they are a wealth of information and I have made a fair few contributions.
I meant recorded
I don't get wasted every weekend. I can't afford to do that, I've only been able to afford to get to work each day over the Christmas period.
All these pieces are unique. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings, however I have been sending necklaces. Made by someone important to me, and they are beautiful pieces
IMO she could charge a lot more than the 20 quid per piece.
Fair enough but if you can look at it from our side of the fence you can understand Why everyone is getting a little bid miffed since its now the 8th Jan

I see
If I were in your shoes mate, I would hand delivery the parcel to make sure it gets there. Recorded delivery is not anymore reliable than standard first class so image if your parcel get lost the 3rd time!!!
I would send it via Special Delivery to make sure it gets there personally.

So Shayper is being totally let off the hook because he has promised to buy a new present? Poor form to be honest and who wouldn't keep the receipts when they knew full well that the receipts might be needed in case anything went wrong? 
Next year I'll make up a load of crap and then send a present out in January, hey it's okay as long as I send something eventually, right?

How would I get there to hand deliver it?
If I can I'll get it sent special delivery, if not it will be recorded.

As I said, I'm not lying. And I have no reason to lie.

And this exact reason makes me not want to sign up next year. Haven't been in a position to sign up before due to lack of funds but was looking to next year.
Doomed to failed
