I work in a field whereby if I had done such a thing I would be immediately sacked, so it's interesting to see some people don't believe it's much of an issue as everything worked out fine.
Sure - many of you may be happy to have been saved a trip to a depot and are OK with your postperson signing on your behalf. But it's not OK for the postperson to decide this without prior agreement from the recipient.
Where is your greenhouse that it was 'left out in view all day'?
Would you really?
So if a customer disputed a signature on an item you would immediately sack the employee on the say of that person?
Royal Mail should investigate the matter and may make a goodwill gesture to you, but for any refund you should contact the seller/sender.
At first you appeared to want a refund, now you seem to want the postie sacked. Not sure where else this thread can go!
But it wasn't stolen?
Was it?
I hope you didn't include this 'what ifs' and 'might have beens' in your complaint to RM.
What do you actually want as an outcome to this?
Well not really. He paid to have the item delivered, along with extra insurance should a problem occur, which it didn't. The idea of a secure delivery is largely meaningless and is down to interpretation.
Fine, I drive past the depot every day. Would rather know its safe and the Royal mail had done what they should have to ensure its security
