ive had nearly £1000 worth of stuff get nicked in the post in the last year....

like most things in this country, its getting worse by the day...

i would check with the hydro shop - depending on their policy and the law it may be their responsibility to ensure the goods get to you as the purchaser. also if you ordered them on your credit card you may have cover there too.

That's what I thought.
So anybody can steal anything and all they say is "tough luck" and that's the end of it?
Time to boycott royal mail I say

Here in the states you steal something from the mail and its a federal offense, still happens, but not that often compared to all the other crime.

Royal mail take on a lot of agency staff and suchlike,no proper vetting is done on these temporary staff,there was a TV expose a few months ago,stuff going missing from birthday cards and similar,total disgrace,boycott the cnuts

If your sending anything you've gotta get it insured these days.

yeh i know its the sorting office my freinds dad used to work in one told some horror story people taking birthday card money credit cards everything spoke to seller hed going to send my stuff again im going to make a complainty to royal mail the envelopes been ripped open along bottom selotapes up and ripped at top

Last credit card I got had the envelope sliced open at one end......went straight to the bank and got it cancelled. Not worth the risk of some a-hole postie going on an internet spending spree at my expense.

As peeps have said....special delivery or courier is your only real guarantee of it not being nicked. Always worth the extra few quid to get stuff couriered imo.

Really is a disgrace... I would have thought considering you have written proof that Royal Mail is still in possession of your property then you have grounds to seek compensation... but I imagine they have a disclaimer that would rule that one out.

Like others have said, I would go for private couriers as the Royal Mail don't seem to take this problem very seriously.

i've never had a problem with the post and royal mail but i saw that about them robbing birthday cards and credit cards, it's made me think as i've sent cash to the bay before but always do the recorded / special delivery
