Sending parcels, not including return address, Royal Mail are useless

Didn't put a return address on a parcel and now wants to sue Royal Mail because they didn't return the parcel.
You just couldn't make this up, could you?
Sometimes I simply despair.
Yes but the PPI number was on the parcel!!
My argument is that the PPI number is a fair indicator of who to return the parcel to

Lol,except you dont have an argument.
Does your PPI agreement state as a service any items that are undeliverable will be returned to the PPI account address?
The RLB office costs a lot of money to run,its scope is being reduced and I would expect more.
There is certainly an idiot on the thread,we can agree on that.0 -
Years ago a PPI number, and indeed a franking machine impression was sufficient, but no longer. It is in the T&C and most published advice on branches and on the internet that letters and parcels will only be returned with a return address stated. I am afraid that, unless you were misled, you probably don't have a case, as you have not followed the RM guidance.
I am not fan of Royal Mail but I would point out that they are under enormous pressure to cut costs, and that PPI mail often offers a significant discount. A return address is not unreasonable in the circumstances. You can add it onto the template for your address labels - maybe in the corner - or get a rubber stamp made (a few £££) at Vistaprint.0 -
Paul, but you would think anyone with a tiny bit of common sense would send back any undelivered mail to the PPI number account holder.
