I sent a package of gold to
SGUK or scrap gold uk on 9th
October 2009. They made me
pay £4.95 to post it special
delivery and unlike most
never sent me an envelope
pre-paid.
The royal mail track and
trace website showed my
package as signed for on 9th
October. No cheque arrived
so I rang them. They said
that they never received my
package.
One of three things has
happened:
1. they signed for the
packet and then stole my
gold without paying me.
2. the postman stole it.
3. the postman delivered it
to the wrong building and
someone else stole it.
So, either sguk are a dodgy
company or the post service
cannot be relied upon to
securely deliver valuable
items. The royal mail has
checked my claim and states
that the packet was
correctly delivered and
signed for so wont pay the
claim. sguk say they didn't
get the packet. I am out of
pocket £410 and nobody wants
to take responsibility.
BEWARE the special delivery
is not the cast iron
guarantee you think it is
and if the post office can
show you any old mickey
mouse signature then that's
it! Surely all the postman
needs to do is steal the
packet and scribble ronald
regan on the slip and he
takes home an extra weeks
wages!!!
The whole thing stinks, you
are relying on the honesty
of not only the person
delivering but the company
receiving the package as
well.
