Recorded Delivery
I have had loads of problems with recorded delivery in my area, it either takes ages or doesn't turn up at all. I am awaiting a very important wedding gift for my hubby to be and it was posted a week ago, recorded delivery (yes, I know I should have got it to be sent Special Delivery!) and I haven't received it yet. I know that I can't do anything until after 15 working days, and I have got insurance via the seller and paypal and the �30 Post office insurance but that is beside the point. This product is irreplacable, a one off and I am tearing my hair out at the moment. After the 15 days is up do you think I could get the police involved as this is the 4th recorded delivery item in the last 2 years that hasn't arrived? This is really upsetting me at a very hectic time and I was hoping for some advice. Thanks

You mention paypal this isn't from ebay is it?
Ebay is not the problem here, it's the postal service. I've had recorded items go missing, and often they get returned to sender without leaving a card here.
Now with anything either rare, valuable or large I never go with Royal Mail. There are lots of alternative couriers, (I often use CityLink) who will do the job for a little bit more, but it will get there.
