Is a watch / fitness tracker considered 'jewellery'?

JustAnotherSaver

Have a fitness watch for sale. On Parcel2go there's no mention of watches or fitness trackers being banned but it does list 'jewellery'.



Just wondering whether it's A-ok to send this or not?

Watches are listed at https://www.parcel2go.com/prohibited-items#prohib under :

The following items (or any item similar in description or content) can only be carried on a no compensation basis on any service.
Any person sending such an item does so at their own risk:

If you buy the postage online Royal Mail now do a tracked 48 hour with signature for £5.10 with £100 cover, so only about 70p more than normal 1st class.

But, despite what it says on their site, that service is NOT available to pay for in branch (no idea why). You have to pay online & print your own postage label, then take it into the branch for them to scan.

Thanks, though i just went on that and it wasn't available as a postal option for some reason?

I've never been offered tracked 48 via click and drop whether using my private or business account.

I've just checked both a business and private account on C&D and they both have RMT24 and RMT48.

Right ...


to try and push my question further until it gets answered....


* I go here https://www.royalmail.com/
* I click Sending Mail (top left)
* I click Royal Mail Tracked 48
* I click Visit Click & Drop
* I click Get Started Now (over on the left hand side)
* I enter the weight (400g) then click Continue
* I select Small Parcel with compensation up to £100



... and then i get what i showed in my earlier screenshot ... Special Delivery £7.30.


So where's this £5.10? Or have i done something wrong in the above steps?

I will ignore the bad manners.

I don't use the method you've chosen because I have a click and drop account - have you tried registering for a C&D account and see if you get all the options?

For my private account a 400g parcel with £100 compo is £4.74 and only rises to £5.10 if I select a signature.

No i haven't tried registering.


I would've expected Joe Bloggs to get the same options as a registered Joe Bloggs. So you think maybe registering gives you extra options?


I'll do that later and have a see.
