Registered Post vs Special Delivery?
Comments
-
in the olden days... (about 12 years ago) there used to be recorded and registered. People would get them both mixed up and so Royal Mail renamed 'Registered delivery.' they called it special delivery.
Now hows that for a useless fact for you lol0 -
When I was young my dad occasionally sent me up to the post office to deal with his post.
It was all so confusing!
I distinctly remember going to post something registered and then my dad asking me where the slip was - I'd posted it! :rotfl: My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0
