I need to look at the figures for this. Is there a point where a standard packet with delivery confirmation is cheaper than a Large Letter sent Signed For?
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, but no-where can I see anything about what compensation you would get on standard mail with no insurance but delivery confirmation. Maybe the old book-of-stamps?Warning: any unnecessary disclaimers appearing under my posts do not bear any connection with reality, either intended, accidental or otherwise.

It's only cheaper for 2nd class large letters over 500g, below that signed for is cheaper, and of course you get up to £50 comp as well.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Scroll down to the little table on the right - there is a cross next to Inclusive Compensation.0 -
Thanks. Its actually around the 500-750g range that we tend to add Signed For on to Large Letters due to the value of the contents.It's only cheaper for 2nd class large letters over 500g, below that signed for is cheaper, and of course you get up to £50 comp as well.
So now to decide whether to save a £1 and risk no compo!0
