    Also buying online it requires recipients email and phone number to notify them, I would suspect you probably have further issues getting them to respond.

    You can out your own details.

    You will be notified about the delivery and can advise the recipient.

    I did wonder if it would accept my email and phone as I use it on the Royal Mail account to arrange delivery to myself. And presumed it would go into add a different email and telephone number. But again it's if the post office can scan them. But I will give it a go.

    It is done regularly by posters on another forum.

    Royal Mail wonlt chck the email quoted on the form. The form will just be processed automatically.

    You don’t even have to put any email or phone number in. I never add an email and sometimes I’m only given a landline number so leave it blank too. Just means nobody gets notifications.

    The purchase requests buyers details, it doesn’t require them, it is perfectly possible to buy RM24 and RM48 without buyer details , I do it all the time.
