Item lost in post? Any point trying to claim?

Esoog

Greetings,

I sent something of relatively low value to a buyer about two weeks or so ago first class, it hasn't turned up and its not actually expired so naturally I've refunded. I've had a quick scan of the RM website and it seems to imply I can attempt to claim (once the prerequisite days have passed) for it being lost - up to 6x1st class stamps I think - without any proof of posting etc. I just stuck it in the postbox near my house as it was a fairly low worth item hence no proof of posting etc, sooo am I just wasting my time attempting to claim without any form of evidence?

If you don't have proof of posting you won't get anything.

I did suspect that was the case, many thanks.

It's worth a try as there have been people on here who have received stamps for poor service without a CoP.
