for recorded delivery, I think generally it is the postmans fault, sometimes they dont bother to get a signature, and then the buyer thinks they can get a legit freebie. I dont think generally the post office steals stuff, BUT if your experience is that the problem has been at one post office and it happens alot, I think a family run one will be worse and dodgy as they have no procedures for security amongst themselves and would cover up theft - you should report them to RM IMO.....
the nothing inside envelope really bugs me, I had only 2 of them ever, but there was no RM damaged in transit sticker or anything attached so I could not make a claim - or at least I didnt try to. The buyers made ebay claims and I won as it was recorded del and inputted tracking, I felt bad but I didnt know if they were scammers or not. Anyone put in a claim to RM for empty envelope and been paid out?
as for ebay claims, I hardly get any but Ive had issues with handing over stealth details like paypal in completely different name to mine who is the claimant, it feels unstealth-like and they might make enquiries and possibly report real name to paypal dont know, I mean you need comp cheque in real name, right? I usually just say it was a gift and give them some invoice Ive got lying around, it is more simple IMO.
I dont turn up with big sacks, but if I have a bag full they are all pre-paid so thats not a prob, but some days I might have say 10 recorded deliveries and the tutting I get from people behind me, actually passing comments...they queue up for a book of stamps, that you can get at the supermarket with your shopping, idiots...oh and guys, try it with a toddler who runs off every 2 secs and eats the sweets, I bought some reins and that was worse as we twisted round and round until we were trussed.....
