Advantages: Easy way to send post

Disadvantages: Unreliable, Itemd get lost/damaged.

I'm just going to speak about my experience with royal mail. I have to comment on how bad my experience has been with them.

I sell a lot of items off of ebay and always take the bits to the post office myself. I used to just sent these items by normal 1st or 2nd class post how-ever some of these items kept getting lost so I now have to send all packages by recorded delivery.

Even though I send packages by recorded delivery, some of these parcels still go missing and although I have a tracking number it can take months to claim any money back for compensation, etc.

I also want to comment on me receiving parcels at my house. A lot of the time packages/parcels are just left on the door step and most of the things I order have to be signed for. I received about 5 parcels in 1 week, all were meant to be signed for and I only got made to sign for about 2, as the other they just left on the door-step or got pushed through the letter box!

I don't think Royal Mail are very reliable, but Im sure not everyone has had bad experiences with them! I will continue to send everything by recorded delivery and I make sure I keep all the slips in 1 place for at least 1 months so I can track any parcels which may have gone missing/walkies!

Summary: Sending and receiving isn't all that good!
