Re: HOW THE POST/ROYAL MAIL WORKS
You do get some compo if something sent by normal post or recorded disappears. You can claim 10xvalue of a 1st class stamp. At present this works out at ?2.70. Big money!

Absolutely: and while I was working for them it was unheard-of for the enforcement of the Act.

i'm pretty sure its up to 100 times a first class stamp. as the value is ?27. if you get proof of posting, aswell i think.
recorded is fine if its a relatively inexpensive item you're sending and you need proof of delivery. so some shady git can't say "i never recieved your parcel/letter"
but if you need to send valuable items then its best to use an insured guaranteed service.

this is printed on the back of the Recorded reciept i have:
"IF YOUR ITEM IS LOST OR DAMAGED...
We'll pay you compensation for the value of your item up to 100 times the price of a basic wieght First Class stamp. We do not pay compensation for money, jewellery of other items of value sent Recorded."
i know several people who have claimed this without any fuss, the post office just coughed up ?27.

FAO Carl:
You are, in theory, correct Carl- BUT- the offer of 100X the price of the 1st class stamp ONLY applies if you indicate on the Recorded slip what the actual value of the item is/was at the time of posting, and how many people do that (or would even KNOW)to do that.
With regards to the OSA- I cant see what is wrong with explaining to people ideas/principles that they should already be aware of (made aware of by the RM). I'm not releasing anything "secret", only stuff that is (should be) readily available to the public.
