A Royal Mail postage claim! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:

What is a Royal Mail postage claim?

A Royal Mail postage claim is a process where you, as a sender, can claim a refund or compensation from Royal Mail if your item is lost, damaged, or delayed during transit.

When can you make a postage claim?

You can make a postage claim if:

1. Your item is lost or damaged during transit.
2. Your item is delayed and has not arrived within the expected timeframe.
3. You have proof of postage and the item was sent via a Royal Mail service that offers compensation (e.g., Recorded Signed For, Special Delivery, etc.).

How to make a postage claim:

1. Gather evidence: Collect any relevant documentation, such as:
   • Proof of postage (e.g., receipt, tracking number, or a copy of the postage label).
   • Proof of value (e.g., receipts, invoices, or appraisals).
   • Photos or videos of the damaged item (if applicable).
2. Fill out the claim form: Download and complete the Royal Mail claim form (available on their website or by contacting their customer service team).
3. Submit your claim: Send the completed form, along with your evidence, to Royal Mail's claims department:
   • By post: Royal Mail Claims Department, PO Box 179, Bristol, BS99 7NA.
   • By email: [email protected].
   • Online: Fill out the online claim form on Royal Mail's website.
4. Wait for a response: Royal Mail will review your claim and respond with a decision. If your claim is approved, you'll receive a refund or compensation.

Tips and reminders:

• Make sure to keep a copy of your claim form and evidence, as you may need to refer to them later.
• Be patient, as the claims process can take several weeks to several months to resolve.
• If your item is lost or damaged, try to contact the recipient to see if they have received it or can provide any information that may help with your claim.
• If you're unsure about the claims process or need assistance, contact Royal Mail's customer service team for guidance.

Remember to stay calm and persistent, and good luck with your postage claim!
