Asda 6 Month Rule

LABMAN

There s no absolute delivery time guarantee with any RM/courier service...you just get the money you paid back. There is no right to claim consequential loss.

Tickets for a concert arriving two days after the event took place? An order to sell shares taking two weeks to get to the recipient and the price of the shares crashing in the two week period? A parcel of chilled fresh food? Legal documents for a house sale that doesn't make the exchange day etc?

All these examples are very poor.

Concert tickets get sent from the ticket agency to the buyer, if they don’t arrive you can pick duplicates up from the box office

Who sells/buys shares by post? It is all online now.

If you decide to post a parcel of chilled fresh food by Royal Mail then it is your own fault.

Exchanging contracts is done well in advance of completion, if they get lost in the post then you have time to resend them

You can claim for consequential loss (up to £10,000) when sending something by Special delivery provided that you have paid for this cover.

The OP has experienced money being taken out of his account one month after it was expected to be taken. This has caused him financial hardship (admittedly due to his own poor budgeting).

No more needs saying on the matter then.



Remember those old fashioned paper things we used to write on and send to each other. People used to screw up with them as well and try to blame someone else, how is this any different ?

The most recent figures available from the Office for National Statistics suggest that, at the end of 2014, share certificates accounted for 10.9% of quoted UK shares, at a value of £187.4 billion.

It is possible that many people who hold them do so from transactions carried out before the digital age really took hold. One possible source would have been the big government privatisations of the 1980s, including the sell-off of British Gas in 1986, promoted nationwide by it's If you see Sid, tell him; TV advertising campaign.

In fact, based on research by Saga2 it's estimated that 1 in 7 over 50's owns paper share certificates, worth an estimated £3,500 each. Saga also found that nearly a quarter of a million over 50s in the UK have come across share certificates when sorting through a relative or a friend's belongings in the wake of their death.

Okay then, how about a few companies offering a paper certificate sharedealing service in 2018:

In fact, contact any stockbroker in the UK and ask them if they would buy or transfer paper shares if you send the shares and a Crest Transfer form and see what they say.

I have taken your advice and Live chatted with my bank (HSBC) and they have said that they do not buy or transfer paper shares. Apparently it is 2018......
