My ‘signed for’ packages are never signed

[hasenut-0]

I’ve sent a handful of things using signed for and MOST things don’t get signed. And now I’m sending even more with signed for as I send with stamps and the only way to get confirmation of delivery is with signed for (to be able to get my funds faster.) but the problem is that most stuff never get signed and it’s not that my parcels don’t get delivered as then I would have over 50 buyers contacting me and saying their stuff haven't gotten delivered. Anybody able to help?

Another thing to add is why pay more for a service that barely works. The whole point of ‘signed for’ is to get a signature of the recipient. Why even bother wasting my money on a glorified 1/2 class post.

For items listed at £10 and under, can be sent without tracking and funds released within 2 days if buyer leaves feedback to show delivered,but this is not said to happen until later in the month,and of course best not to ask buyers for feedback if they don't leave it or it can get you the sort you would rather not have,just for asking.

Others are saying the same about the different postal services not scanning and getting delivered status entered once they have delivered,which is something sellers have no control over,but you will get paid just not for 14 days.

What do I do with atleast 50% of atleast 100 parcels never getting signed. Any way can get compensation or I’ve just lost money?

If using the royal mail and their signed for service then contact royal mail and make a complaint.

You will get paid but it can take 14 days to receive buyer payments if no tracking is showing.
