Quick Q about Post office/recorded delivery

You've no problems at all if item gets there, and realistically the chances of something failing to arrive AND your buyer being a scammer are pretty remote, so I wouldn't worry. It's just that some of us have bene around the block a few times and have seen every petty scam and every incidence of stuff failing to arrive and we start to get cynical.

But then even if it was lost, I couldn't claim back. Doh. Well lesson has been learned. There is tracking info on the receipt, but you can't check for a few days apparently? Fingers crossed they all get signed for.0

It should show immediately if it has been accepted by Royal Mail, then straight away when it has been signed for. You are right though that if you want to view the signature it can take several days..what is the current status showing as?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

That just proves you are handed it in over the counter yesterday Watch the tracking for the next couple of days and it will hopefully update to show 'delivered from our XX office....'I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Will do, will probably be chewing my nails down to the quick until it shows up!
You know when you go on the PO website it says about the recorded delivery, that if it goes lost or damaged it's insured up to £39, excludes cash and jewellery. There is no mention of "tickets" it's very misleading! I thought I would be insured for that, and the woman at the PO said I would be covered up to that aswell.
Maybe they should hire members from this forum, you know more than they do

Cash and jewellery are not covered under this service. For more valuable items (e.g. cash, jewellery, tickets and vouchers) please use Special Delivery™Next Day or Special Delivery™ 9.00am.
Basically tickets are considered to be 'cash', or at least that was how it was explained to me.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Well got a message on ebay from one person, saying the postman had left a ticket and they'll pick it up at the weekend and leave me good feedback. I had emailed all of the buyers to tell them I had posted it. So fingers crossed the other 3 got theirs too!0
