I never said otherwise and had you read back over my posts you will see that,however my point is that the stickers being on the packaging doesnt mean anything
however if having a go at me makes you feel better then fill your boots

Erm - the stickers being on the packaging, and them being put through the letter box rather than being signed for DOES mean something - it means the postie ignored that the parcel was meant to be signed for, and just treated it like normal mail. That was my point. If one of my neighbours (usually the amazing lady opposite) had signed for it, whether it was on the sticker, or a PDA, she would have kept it in her flat and brought it round in the evening, which is what she always does. I was pointing out that if you pay to have a parcel signed for, it should be signed for, otherwise you may as well send it normal delivery.

EDIT: I've just had a look on the RM website. The option I'm talking about is described thus:

"If you have an important item to deliver, our Recorded Signed For™ service gives you complete peace of mind with proof of posting and an electronic copy of the signature available online."

sigh,no i was referring to you returning the packaging to the sellers
it means NOTHING
if the item isnt updated online or you dispute the signature,that does

while we are on semantics,whats the difference between a postie signing an item and delivering it and getting your neighbour to sign for it?
Both would be signed for?

also rather crazily i actually know how RM's service work,no need for a copy and paste from their site

The difference between a postie signing and a neighbour signing? Easy: I trust my neighbours. Previous experience with the postal service in the Midlands, in Liverpool and now in London means that I don't trust the postal service. That's pretty simple. Besides, why would you PAY to have your postie sign for something? That makes no sense.

As for not needing to cut and paste - naff off. I was trying to show what I'm talking about. You perfectly illustrate why RM is universally loathed - jobsworthy, rude people work for it, and the service is poor.

ah insults,yup i see that rude is an innate trait to you

if an item can be put through your letter box and delivered regardless of signature then wheres the trust come into it?
your point makes no sense,if it gets to the stage where a postie or neighbour can sign for it then where does trust come into it?
its reached its delivery point.
if you dont trust the postal system then dont use it
you pay for an item to be delivered to an address,yet you are now happy for it to go to any address?

step back and look at your post,there might just be a glimmer of realisation for you

as for universally loathed,well I can prove thats not true with a few posts from the forum
feel free to correct me though
jobsworths follow the rules,so i would have thought that is your complaint in the first place?

Putting my head above the parapet, I think it might not be that clear that jojo2004 lives in a block of flats so putting the post through the outer door is NOT secure and all residents keep the outer door shut as it is London.;)
Unfortunately we have had some shocking experiences with post in the Midlands but not with our regular post lady who is a sweetie.

Just to add to this. My regular postie is excellent.

Its the van that comes around with parcels that is the problem. And on the subject of delivery, dont even get me started on some of the courier companies especially citylink (or sh*ttylink as i call them).

There used to be a guy in the cardiff depot that I'm sure must have had an IQ of less than 50. Problems is he had a bad attitude too.

whats the issue?
though that delivery system will end soon so it wont really be an issue

I've suffered this a lot over the years. I wouldn't mind if the posty made a token effort, but most of the time they'll come to the door, and immediatly leave the dreaded note without even bothering to knock or ring. I dunno, maybe they're trying to be polite 'cause it's early, but I'm too busy at bloody work to go gallivanting across to the post office to pick stuff up unless it's the weekend. Raging >:I
