so you can't grasp the concept of the people working there full time but only opening the customer counter for an hour??Ya'll live in a dream land. Who is going to sign up to do a single hours work in the evening?

are you really this stupid, or is it just an act to try and be amusing?7am till 8pm is full time now?
If you have a parcel being delivered by Royal Mail either special or tracked you can request it to be delivered on a day of your choice. No extra charge so just get it all delivered on a Saturday.All suggestions which have flaws.
- A lot of workplaces have problems with people getting personal deliveries
- Would be fine if Saturday delivery didn't cost significantly more (it's almost as if they make the weekday hours deliberately awkward to try and extort more money out of you for this )
- Same issue as above - this almost always comes with a higher cost, or at least severely limits the places you can shop at.
- Sure, because having to take a whole day off to drive to a shop on the other side of the country is a better option than having to take a couple of hours to fit around the stupid hours of the sorting office.
I work for royal mail, Just over 6 years now. You learn very quickly that RMSD items are not to be messed with. Posties do no touch or steal these items, They are tracked end to end, We are tracked on duty all the time. Our stops are checked, Door time check and even our vans now have trackers.
It's honestly insane, Royal mail went for having aging techolongy to now tracking every single one of there workers. You will legit loose your job if you misdisliver a special delivery.
Perosnally I think whoever the buyer is, is in the wrong. Royal mail clearly have enough proof the item was delivered to the correct address, 200 quid in insurance is nothing to a company making profit during covid times. There's clearly more to this and royal mail is being used a scape goat.
My two cent.

The problem is, how is the customer to prove that it was "misdislivered"?
- Postie signs for parcel outside customer's door, postie steals parcel, postie has nice shiny new toy, customer says "where's my nice shiny new toy" and RM says "well postie signed for it, you must have it".
- Postie signs for parcel outside customer's door, postie leaves parcel on doorstep which then gets pinched, customer says "where's my new toy" and RM says "well postie signed for it, you must have it".
The whole point of the "signed for" service is that it is proof that the item was delivered to the recipient. The whole point of paying extra for that signed for service (whether it's 1st/2nd or SD) is that you are covered in case it ISN'T delivered to the recipient. So essentially what you have here is not only negligence (giving the benefit of doubt to the postie here) on the part of the postie, you also have false advertising by RM by charging for a "signed for" service with compensation which actually provides neither a signature nor compensation.
because they are caught relatively regularly stealing. i know of 2 posties personally who've been caught and went to court, google suggests that is not just anecdotal.It confuses me why people assume posties would nick these parcels.
Probably sitting in the empty house next door. I have had 2 RMSD delivered to my exact address except its not mine it's 5 minutes away and is exactly the same just drive instead of place. Utter incompetence its a 85yo in a sheltered accommodation house. DPD also did that as well. Postie up here is also a moron who has been told by the depot to keep mail covered but instead walks around in the rain with my kids weekly magazine gets its soaking and we need to get another sent. RM are an utter farce not fit for purpose in everyway.
From what the OP said, it was well packaged and bigger than an envelope slot.as for the op questions can you see in to the empty place next door. If it fitted through the letter box the postie might have signed and posted it there by mistake. Not meant to but does happen
