    Not as long as everyone still calls it RD, at least you are not as bad as my clerk who talks about "special recorded delivery".

    Its the basic cost of postage +£1
    so in your case its the cost of your item sent SD +£1

    So wonder where this £20 comes from then?

    Right I have had a look at the tracking
    your buyer is a pants on fire liar
    your item was collected Saturday and delivered Monday with no delay or extra scans for charging

    for future reference
    here is the more detailed RM tracking ilink

    How do you know this just for future reference?

    Experience ;)

    When a charge SD comes in the office.(SD items arent sent via revenue protection to avoid delay) It should be allocated to a charge barcode
    then a card sent out to the recipient

    Yours went straight to allocation for delivery and was delivered that day.
    even if they got the card that day and paid in the office
    it would show as collected,not delivered

    I can't believe the cheek of it. Alarm bells rang when he said £20, which seemed steep. Thanks a lot :-)

    Buyer replied to my original message saying:

    They didn't get a receipt, they were given the package after paying £9.25 charge.

    Not really sure what to reply with as it seems this isn't truthful.
