Royal Mail Mass Claim Success!

[Mat]

I started a topic on Royal Mail a few months ago regarding the whopping amount of failures in collecting signatures from my recipients.

I claimed for 94 Recorded Delivery and quite a few International Signed For. After a very technical letter highlighting their T&Cs they have awarded me the full refund of £180.06 I was claiming for! They did point out though that they have awarded the International Signed For deliveries as a gesture of good will, they had to refund with the Recorded Delivery ones or they would have breached their contract. A total of 16% of my 2010-2011 Recorded Deliveries were performed without collecting a signature, at the current rate of 77p per time it soon adds up. I hope this will now inspire some of you heavy RM users to check through all your receipts and cross check the T&T service and submit a claim, it did take me all day to do it with over 800 receipts but obviously worth it for £180.06!

Well done Mat

It pays to be persistent and to present a hard to argue against, logical case.

Cheers

I thought it would be a tough ride with them on this one but I don't think they had much in their defence. If the postman decides to just post the item without bothering to get the signature it is clear cut.

Hi AJW

I have never come across you before I don’t think, first time I have seen your site anyway. I was wondering how do you get on with ebid for sales? I used them a few times in 2003 to sell Nazi war medals when ebay started to prohibit Nazi items but I have not thought about them since as ebay shifts everything so fast.

Hi Mat

Nice to meet you I've sold a couple of things on ebid but it hasn't really been worth it to be honest. Did have a large order which turned out to be fraud but I never fell for it aside from that just orders on cheap items with one order for a sovereign at a bullion related price. Slow sales but I've paid my £50 now so I'm a seller+ member for life so I'm hoping things will pick up there one day well here's to hoping.

So do you have a website?

Nice to meet you too. I think I will give ebid a miss based on that then! I dont think I had to pay any joining fees back in 2003, I have never really managed to pick up anything special on there as a buyer either. I have been meaning to create a website but I just have not had the time as of late. I am amassing stock at the moment but I will have to get one eventually, I am far far too reliant on ebay as it gets things sold within weeks as opposed to months, its just the killer fees. With the new changes in registered business user fee structures, it has worked out better to revert my accounts pack to personal accounts to exploit the capped £40fv fee.

Another great idea I've been holding back my expensive items from ebay for that very reason paying more than £40 in FVF's seems too much for a single item. So is it fairly straight forward going back to a personal acc? How do you go about amassing stock? I generally buy most stock from people who ring up with coins to sell and I also keep an eye out for british coins on foreign ebays etc.
