if you email it to them still send it out recorded to them as i can remember reading something that they can say they didnt receive it and get their money back via paypal as you couldnt prove they received the email.

Thats correct. If you don't have proof of delivery they could claim. But if the voucher isn't worth much it may not be worth while to send and add 75p for recorded. You'll just have to decide

Delivery drivers in the Swindon area are on a 48 hour strike at the moment, so there might be local strikes on other areas too.

Swindon is now the main sorting office for Oxfordshire now too, so it causes all-round chaos, and takes ages to clear the backlog.

If it's send special delivery (as all vouchers need to be don't they??) it should be ok.

According to the radio, it's only 27, 000. I'm guessing one side is exaggerating, and the other is playing it down. :rolleyes:

Huh, that'll probably be where a parcel I posted 2 weeks ago has ended up! I've willingly now refunded the poor buyer - but am still a tenner out of pocket!
