Does the postman deliver recorded d mail

In the UK, Royal Mail's Recorded Delivery service is designed to provide proof of delivery and compensation up to £40 if the item is lost or damaged. However, the postman may not always deliver Recorded Delivery items personally.

Here's what happens:

1. The postman will attempt to deliver the item to the recipient's address.
2. If the recipient is not available, the postman may leave a card with instructions on how to arrange redelivery or collect the item from a local post office.
3. If the postman is unable to deliver the item due to the recipient's absence or other reasons, they may leave the item at a safe location, such as a neighbor's property or a secure location at the recipient's address.
4. In some cases, the postman may not be able to deliver the item personally, and it may be taken to a local post office or delivery hub for the recipient to collect.

It's worth noting that Royal Mail's Recorded Delivery service is designed to provide proof of delivery, so even if the postman doesn't deliver the item personally, the recipient can still track the item's progress and claim compensation if it's lost or damaged.

If you're concerned about the delivery of a Recorded Delivery item, you can track its progress using Royal Mail's Track and Confirm service or contact Royal Mail customer service for more information.
