I brought an xbox 360 of ebay and had delivered to myself by special delivery recorded next day and it did not turn up. Just before Xmas. The driver said someone signed for it. Lie he just took it home for Xmas. But because they were so busy over the Xmas period they have to draft in other people to help out they could do nothing. I had to make a claim against the seller on paypal and luckily i got paid. He had to claim against the post office but could only claim £150 i think because he did not increase the amount insured by. So be careful when sending and receiving and make sure they/you insure it for the correct amount. Hope you get your stuff recorded still don't mean your guaranteed to get it.
Ordered a Halo TSA LCD Backman from Fatbobs paintball.. Been 2 weeks.. Not received it yet!
And I haven't even got an email from Fatbobs to say that I have been sent my item.. And I asked for arefund = Nothing...
Edit: I think it is supposed to be sent with Royal Mail.

If your items are not delivered within the stated timeframe using special delivery then claim for them, all items sent by special delivery are covered by £500 on the standard insurance and you can opt for additional cover upto either 1000 or 2000 pounds.
Dark Stranger, I would actually check with the person that sent it to you to see what time they sent and check that everything went as expected and then get them to claim compensation.
I've never had any problem at all with special delivery in fact I've always been suprised by them.
Yes I do work for Royal Mail as a normal ol' postie, and can only give the impression that I get at work, the security surrounding the Specials is first rate, and that I and no one to my knowledge in my office has failed to attempt delivery within the time frame.
Just a quick note on the strike that this one will start 7pm on Thurs and run til 7pm Fri, unless the pay issues are resolved, this will have a higher impact on the service on the actual day of the strike as opposed to the following day

The fact that the item was expected to be delivered and then reverted back to being sorted would indicate that someone could not be arsed to do it at the end of the round.
Ring the shop on Thursday they are really good there with helping you. I always get a class 1 service and a tea and biscuit when i visit.
