Advantages: None Disadvantages: No tracking. Insurance is no more than standard post.
...a service offered by the Royal Mail. You pay an extra 72p (as of Feb 2008) for your letter or parcel to be signed for at the other end. == Actual Service == What you actually get is exactly what they state. You get a signature from the recipient when the item is delivered. It could be argued that you would imagine that the item would be tracked all the way to the other end. This, you do not get. You would need to pay for Special Delivery or use a ... ...throw the parcel in with the ordinary First Class and Second Class post. == Delivery of Item == When the item is delivered, a signature is requested. This, however can even be from a neighbour or even from the receiver picking the item up from the Post Office. This is probably the biggest advantage. You can collect the item from the Post Office which is not possible with couriers. At the moment, there are plenty of Post Offices. == Problems == There ...

Quick review of Royal Mail Recorded Signed For 1st / 2nd Class
Good service offered by Royal Mail. It is not a tracking service, but rather a proof of delivery for sender and reciever. Works well, rarely late, highly recommended. ...

Advantages: Low Price, Proof of Delivery Disadvantages: Standard Post, just gets signed for
...by pointing out exactly what Royal Mail Recorded Delivery 1st/2nd class is. It is NOT a tracked parcel service where items are tracked throughout. It is a standard postal service, and items sent using it just go in with the normal post. They are just as likely to get lost and normal items and are only insured up to £32, the same as normal letters and parcels. The only difference is that for the extra 68p you get proof of delivery, which may be useful ... ...a tracked service. The official Royal Mail words are (which are on all Recorded Delivery slips) ¨Standard Postal Service with Signature on Delivery¨.
That aside, I have found this service to almost always deliver very quickly, often next day when posting First Class. I have never had problems getting proof of delivery online, and for only an extra 68p on top of normal parcel prices, this service is value for money. I wouldn't recommend it for high ...

Advantages: reasonably price, secure postal service Disadvantages: found non as yet
Royal Mail recorded delivery.
This has been one of my favourite ways of sending relatively important mail through the post for quite some time now.
I do a lot of buying and selling on online internet auctions, and find this way of sending mail one of the most secure and reasonably priced ways of doing so.
For what I would deem as normal mail the cost of first class is about £0.70, second class is available but unless you are sending an horrendous ... ...now be tracked online through Royal Mail tracking service, which is really simple to use, and brings you peace of mind, it is also a good proof of postage if somebody questions has to whether you have sent their mail.
An easy to use service, which can be done at any Post Office, they will fill in all the postal details for you, and give you the postal proof as well as a receipt.
Again this service is also possible online from the royal Mail Postal ...

Quick review of Royal Mail Recorded Signed For 1st / 2nd Class
This is an area that really annoys me. Royal Mail signed for 1st / 2nd class is a rip-off. You pay more money for this service but you are still only insured for £34 pounds.(the price of 100 1st class stamps). You will get the same amount of cover if you ask for a "Proof of posting certificate", which is absolutely free and can be obtained at the post office counter when you send your item. When "signed for mail" gets lost Royal Mail have no way of telling you where your item got to before it got lost. So save your money and stop these monkeys getting rich off of your backs. ...
