    But the buyer has asked his friend to ask the new tenant if it has been delivered and they said they have had no sign of a parcel..

    In that case once the 15 working days has passed you can put in a claim for item not received with a clear conscience.

    In a very small amount of cases RM will conatct the person at the address to ask if item really has not arrived, that is the only thing you need worry about.

    Why would anybody dream of sending such a valuable item, standard class? For the sake of a few pounds saving, you are now gonna lose about £200. Good money saving there!

    It's not too bad, at least you paid for extra insurance.
    We get so many people here having the same problem after sending expensive stuff first class and no extra insurance.

    Standard parcel does have extended insurance if you pay the extra, however you either paid an additional £1 for up to £100 or £2,25 for up to £250, there is no £200 insurance band so check what you have.

    Umm yes there is. If you tell the PO £200 as the value that's what they'll put. You'll still get charged the same rate as £250 though

    She said something like if I say its worth £200, it will cost so much and if I say its worth £220 which is what I sold it for, it would cost more so I couldn't see the point. My mistake lol
