Did you take out the insurance? And did you get paid out
luckily the guys packaging was bomb proof and it survived even the royal mails worst efforts.

ive got home before to find expensive insured items just leaning against the front door for the whole world to see.
as I said earlier Randall the postie is wrong if he leaves it and wrong if he takes it back to the depot. A lot of it depends upon where you live, i.e. nice area etc. This time of year we must get five to ten a day left with us in the post office where people have been out and they pick it up from us. There are however, some posties who are lazy bastards and will leave it in an unsafe damp place just because they cannot be arsed to take it back but that is a very small amount.

leaving a signed for item in the garden or on show is out of order.

sellers on ebay have to be able to prove delivery, posties doing this makes their lives even more impossible.

The NZ postal service is years ahead of the Royal mail. Each street here identifies which address have retired persons or persons who work from home, and are willing to participate as a focal point. Any parcels or signature required parcels are left with them, they then send a text to you saying it's arrived and you can then walk down the street and get it, or have it redirected as the case may be.

You guy's really do need to come into the 21st century, we're well into it now.
