Royal Mail free proof of delivery

[asleepyblueocean]

Hi

Never used Royal Mail for sending parcels, but, was going to give them a try. Asked at local post office for a price list the lady went and spoke to a chap they both kept looking at me then the chap asked what my problem was and why I wanted a list I explained I was going to be sending a few parcels so needed to know prices sizes etc, he sarcastically asked couldn't I use a computer to Google such information! I then enquired about free proof of delivery he told me as posties didn't always mark the item as delivered this was no longer an option and tracking commanded an additional cost. 

I would be grateful if someone can confirm this or if it is still an option how/where would I print a lable (I have a printer) or can it be hand written or printed through ebay and get a delivery number please.

Many thanks in anticipation

parcel2go are one of the easiest websites to use and give you a good choice of carriers and options for either drop off or collection.Any parcel can be booked o line with Royal Mail as long as you know the weight and is usually cheaper and quicker than using a post office.You still have to take the parcel to the post office though.
