Hi All

Just had a buyer contact me this morning after not receiving a £9 minifigure
order that was placed on April 5th. The postage option chosen by the buyer was
a standard 1st class large letter, Postage was paid for and label printed using
the Click and collect Royal Mail service and posted that same evening.

I have sent other parcels since then and have had those orders completed by those
buyers so I know the postbox I used has been visited by the Royal Mail.

I’ve asked the buyer to wait another week and see if anything arrives and in
the meantime I will do some research into what the next steps are.

What is the correct course of action as a seller ? Do I need to refund the buyer
even though they picked a non signed for option for post ? I have no reason to
believe the buyer is not telling the truth but also I’m going to be out £11 if
I have to refund even though I processed the order and paid the postage and sent
it ?

Don’t want to get negative feedback from the buyer if I argue the refund.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice

[...] Royal mail ask you to wait 10 working days before submitting a claim for a lost item, if you have proof of posting you may be able to claim from Royal mail.

[...] Refund the buyer and make a claim for compensation with Royal Mail. Normal postage for a large letter covers you for up to £20. URL for claims centre (URL)
