But if sent normal post nothing you can do with Royal Mail. They could report it but will probably need proof of posting and only likely to get six stamps as compensation as the value couldn't be proved. Even if you can prove the value it is limited to £20 on standard post anyway. Retail Compensation Policy for Lost Items | Royal Mail Group Ltd
But also as above, might be worth checking with the sorting office."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52102044","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jco83"},"datePublished":"2024-01-30T19:09:06.000Z","text":"Allegedly "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52102099","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Myusernamehasgone234"},"datePublished":"2024-01-30T19:14:51.000Z","text":"We've had lots of issues with post in our area been delayed.

It's very unlikely to be an issue with theft, but if it is, they will trace the item's journey through the network, and use other reports to catch whoever's responsible. What's far more likely is that the item was damaged by a machine or wasn't correctly addressed, and in either case, there's a chance that the letter and money may be recoverable."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52102893","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"stedaman"},"datePublished":"2024-01-30T20:58:29.000Z","text":"Unfortunately no, either give the money in person or via online transfer.
