Re: Is Royal Mail strict?
did you pay correct postage using stamps on this envelope?MGB wrote:I did post a special to myself through a post box once, just to try it, and yes it worked and was fine (first track at MC) but there really is no point other than (non guaranteed) speed, as if it is lost or delayed, you have no proof of when it was sent of that it was even you who sent it.
did they still send it using the "special speed" and get you to sign it, or did they send it using the "1st class speed".
I was told that you have to be lucky, it depends on whether postman sees it or not, but you wont get any proof of postage or comepnsation

Special speed = 1st class speed. Both are next day. One has a guarantee and compensation, one doesn't.
