We’ve put in place a temporary procedure for those services where we would normally capture a recipient’s signature on delivery in the UK. For items delivered on or after Saturday 14th March 2020, our postmen and women will not request a signature but will capture the recipient’s name and will ensure they take in the item. You can still check that we have obtained confirmation of delivery and who we delivered to by tracking your parcel at www.royalmail.com/track-your-item (where you may see a special code, ‘XP1’ instead of signature).  As a result, we will not consider refunds or compensation requests for not capturing a signature for items delivered on or after Saturday 14 March 2020 and until further notice. 

Please note:

*Should I expect daily deliveries?

The delivery of parcels and letters is a way of keeping the country together, businesses operating, and helping many people who may not have the option to leave their homes. We’re working hard to collect, process and deliver as much mail and parcels as possible in difficult circumstances. Despite our best endeavours, some areas of the country will experience reduced service levels at some points due to Coronavirus-related absences.

*Royal Mail FAQ – https://www.royalmail.com/d8/uk-services-faq

Royal Mail ask to wait 10 working days before they will consider an item is lost. If this is the case, you will receive your order again free of charge. Just get in touch to arrange.
