Page 1 of mail order and receipts
General Forum
Hi all,
Dose any one know why I`m being fed some clap trap that it is law that internet sellers must put an invoice in the package incase of a claim being maid to royal mail
the item is only going from one part of the uk to the other.
surely if the invoice is with the item, both will get lost together. So not much help to any body
thanks

RE: mail order and receipts
Maybe because some people send items of small value with high insurance and claim ridiculous amounts when they go missing, only to subsequently turn up and find the item was nowhere near the value of the original claim and therefore RM could claim their lost money back?
Or maybe something else, but is it really that much hassle to shove a piece of paper in there anyway?

jimbo an interesting possibility. Trouble is rm won`t start a claim for at least 3 months after the item was sent. RM could save money by replacing the item physically rather than the alledged value and save money. Surely a prosecution would not be out of place too.
The motivation for not wanting the receipt including is that the item is a gift, the recipient(my 90 year old gran) lives 200 miles from me. All she`ll do other wise is look at the receipt, and gasp horror, spoil her undies- more than £5 that`s far to much and `loose it`
If the item is a gift then you aren`t an "internet seller" in which case this doesn`t apply, surely?

i pay an internet seller with my card details to deliver the boxed gift at my expence to my gran
jemma, mayeb in your initial post you should have explained the whole situation rather than drip feeding and letting people try and read your mind?
So what you are saying in a roundabout and obtuse way,
you have ordered something and asked for it to be delivered to your gran, but invoice to go to you?
that should be fine.
Amazon allow for the functionality, if you buy something for some-one off their wishlist, or event just buy as a gift, actually quite a few shops allow you to buy an item as a gift, and they ship the item to one address and will send a receipt to cardholder`s address.
