The "recorded" service is useless for anything else other than a signature to show it has arrived safely (if anything, MORE recoreded get "lost" than standard post, since so many people wrongly think it is a proirity service when it is not and use it for the wrong reasons). Always use GND12 for higher value or urgent items.
Your comment about the "store" you talk about "maybe" scamming and not even sending the goods in the first place. To be honest they would (should) have a "proof of posting" which would show they have sent the items to you to rid of that issue. A Royal Mail claim would need to see some proof that this was the case before proceeding. They will only get a "Proof" if they have handed over your packet.
As a store oursleves we DO charge for post, but we always use the highest service level we can and often items arrive from us with more postage paid by us than we have even charged the customer. In this world there is no such thing really as FREE it is hidden in the cost/charge somwhere.
Lastly, the replacment of goods (as we do also) is again at the discretion of the store, some send out a replacemnt, some refund and some just let you claim from Royal Mail as the "recipient" of the missing packet/parcel. In my opinion any store should deal with it all until the customer either has their order (the original or a duplicate) or is satisfied with a refund or claim payout as is required. It is good customer service for the store to do this and not make the paying customer be lumbered with the job of doing it.

Hi Darren,
I would of purchased from you guys for my electric stuff.
But you guys dont stock Durango parts, which is shame.
As your brilliant to deal with & very helpful.
This probably you guys & girls little bit more info of what shop I'm talking about.
But no they didnt seem very helpful over the phone when i called them on friday.
I got the fobbing off attitude, said wait 15working days which I'm very happy to do.
But it's £60 worth of goods, if i would of been happy to of paid that little bit extra for postage & most other ppl probably would of done the same.
But you just think that kind of value, model shop would send the goods signed for just cover thier arse & customer so thier isnt any issue's
i will drop them email for proof of receipt so I know it has been shipped.
Fingers crossed they will turn up this week for Worksop
