But can you be sure the sender in Bolton actually sent the item, correctly addressed it and affixed the correct postage ? :shock: There's no such thing as "first class parcel post" but ask the sender to give you a copy of their Certificate Of Posting and get them to chase it up. :Very Happy

Have found through personal experience that this is their way of fobbing off their customers. Yes, RM aren't perfect, and yes, occasionally things do go missing. However, not as often as these companies tell their customers.

I used to work for a well known telecommunications company who automatically signed people up for ebilling. When the customers called up to say they hadn't received their bills, we were TOLD to inform the customer to check with RM because it had been sent out :crazy:
