    so we all agree that IS is not tracked....brilliant..do will all agree therefore that the wording on the website can be miss leading. and that the disclaimer with the FAQ is also another great way of avoiding any type of responsibility in to providing said service.

    The website states it in not tracked though.

    I think we must agree to disagree then. I do not consider ISF to be a tracked service as RM say it is not, it is not suitable for PayPal claims for that very reason but as with all RM services if you don't get a signature when you have paid for one then they will refund the postage cost.

    I am also quite happy that the info on the sticky postage thread does not need any changes, that warns about the lack of tracking.

  • I think we must? I could give you the definition of miss leading if you need it hence my report not to use this service when TKPeters suggested it was trackable.
    Sorry if I missed the bit on the sticky postage thread too?

    You missed where it says it wasn't (fully)tracked….really?

    This should help.

    And in case you missed it, when you select Airsure, the tracking box appears,

    when you select ISF it doesn't.

    Really. You clearly read what you want to.

    I did the pictures just in case you weren't able to understand. ;)

    It's not guaranteed to track. So therefore it cannot be guaranteed in case of a Paypal dispute.

    Would you rather the sticky said it will definitely track when it doesn't.

    Just to help again, as you seem to like this type of post.
    verb (guarantees, guaranteeing, guaranteed)
    1 [no object] provide a formal assurance, especially that certain conditions will be fulfilled relating to a product, service, or transaction:
    [with infinitive]:
    the company guarantees to refund your money
    [with object] provide a guarantee for:
    the cooker is guaranteed for five years
    (as adjective guaranteed)
    the guaranteed bonus is not very high
    [with object] provide financial security for; underwrite:
    a demand that £100,000 be deposited to guarantee their costs
  • no that's good it clearly shows how miss leading the whole terms are.
    Just a reminder we didn't choose the service we were advised that was suitable.
