I sent 2 tickets to a mate on Monday by Royal Mail Special Delivery as I had no other way of getting them to them except meeting them outside which would be pretty difficult. Royal Mail say they've been delivered (but can't provide me with a signature yet) but they definitely haven't been delivered to them or neighbours.

Has this ever happened to anyone else and is there anyway V would reissue the tickets if I cancelled them and collected them on Friday? There's a barcode on the tickets so surely this is possible??

We should get the money back from Royal Mail as Special Delivery is insured up to £500 but that's not the point, 2 people's weekend is ruined because of Royal Mail's incompetence/dishonesty!

Never getting the ticket back. Check they havent been took away to a Royal Mail collection point because there was nobody in to sign for them... At least you will get your money back, but its not the point, makes you look a c**t and as you say its wreked 2 peoples weekend, they should give you a lot more than just your money back.

According to the person I spoke to on the phone at Royal Mail since the tracking thing says they've been delivered they won't be at the collection point. Will be checking there tomorrow just in case though!

My friend who runs my local post office says it is perfectly possible for it to say it's been delivered when it has in fact been taken back to the collection point - it happens if the postie records it as delivered as they get out of the van and then finds no-one in. They should've left a card though. Get your mate to ring his local sorting office - it's worth a try anyway. Good luck

Dude if they were sent special delivery u should have a number below a barcode. This is the number you can put in the website tracker and it should say if it was defo delivered. I'm a postman :( and I am very honest unlike some it appears. Keep at them if something bad has happened to the tickets, turning up to the office and kicking the f**k off is ur best bet. They will fob u off with loads of shit on the phone!!!!

Good luck mate, if its of any help my mate bought a weekend camping ticket for £70 outside last year as someone was desperate to get rid!

It now turns out that there have been loads of complaints from people that things haven't been delivered in that area and that the postman is new to the job. They don't know if he's been stealing stuff, delivering it to the wrong address or just not delivering it!

The area manager is interviewing him first thing in the morning to try to get to the bottom of it and once they know what's happened they'll be putting priority on sorting out the special delivery items. So there's still a slight chance!
