    Don't upload the tracking yet to Paypal, just keep ahold of it.

    It doesn't matter if the seller refuses to sign, what will matter for you is that your parcel shows online as doing anything at all.

    Recorded is hugely unreliable, but you may be lucky with it.

    All your tracking needs to show is 'attempted/delivered or refused' you will then get your refund.

    Most RD on here unfortunately never say anything other than 'progressing through the network'. Keep us updated.

    Is your PO a small one where you could sweet-talk the counter staff into changing your postage?


    if i do that will in invalidate all the details i have already sent to paypal?? as there is no longer a submit tracking details button?

    Ok. I would have probably waited until something showed up online on the RM website. It just gives the seller a bit less of a chance to know what is happening that's all.

    As you have done it now, you will just have to wait and see what the parcel does online.

    If i don't hear owt soon i'm off to bed :(

    Must admit recorded 'signed for' mail as become a joke at Royal Mail, and the mail watchdog must be turning a blind eye. Most postmen just post them, or hand them over without bothering to record the delivery or get a signature.

    The problem then, is that receiver knows that the transaction was not recorded properly and they claim non-delivery. It happened to me before christmas. A woman claimed an item failed to arrive. I would normally just refund - but i was suspicious - so i told the woman who was trying it on, that i needed her to sign a statement confirming non-receipt - as Royal Mail were disputing it. She soon emailed saying it had suddenly turned up. It still showed as undelivered online.

    Hopefully yours is showing as delivered by now?
