Posting Tickets sold for £145

Hi, a friend of mine who is only a very occasional Ebay seller has asked my advice.
She has sold two tickets for a Wembley event for £145 (face value was £70 each so she is only covering her costs.
I have looked at the buyer and there are no obvious concerns there.
She only asked £2.50 for recorded delivery but I think she should send them out special delivery or some other provable and trackable method, even if that costs more than £2.50.
What is her best option?
Thanks.

Agree with the advice; tickets are only covered by Special Delivery so there's no reason to use any other service."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4
