Post office nicked my phone?

[Beehive Bedlam]

I sent a phone to gadget panda 1st class signed for on the 02/06/14 when I check the status on gadget panda it shows as not received.

This is the interesting part when I track it

"Status: We have your item
Item KFXXXXXXXXXXX was posted at XXXXXX (post office I took it to) on 02/06/14 and is being progressed through our network for delivery."

"Last update: 02 June 2014, 08:26pm"

So according to the tracking number it never left the post office now this post office has been there years unsure how long the current employee has been there he's middle aged.

Signed for only covers a cost of up to £50 the phone which was my old iPhone 4s was valued at £105. It would be in my best interests to find out what has gone wrong or indeed who's got the sticky fingers.

Either the man in the post office has nicked it or the delivery driver has decided to not scan it and had it for himself.

I'm going to call in tomorrow to ask him face to face before I contact RM.

Is it gone forever? Will I ever find out?

Last time I am using RM to send an expensive gadget.

Noticed that recently with First Class RM Signed For service. Despite having a tracking number the package was not tracked and until it was signed for just showed as 'progressing through our system'.
I was a bit peeved as I'd asked for a tracked/signed service but only received the latter.
All of which means your package could be (or was before it went AWOL) anywhere between the originating post office and the final destination

I think it is safe to assume it has been stolen by some wanker it is now seven days since I posted it.

How long does the insurance take to pay out exactly?

Also do I have to prove what it was/how much it was worth?

Have you checked with the recipient to see if they've got it?

I ask because I had a recorded change of keeper to the DVLA "delivered" a week or so after I'd got the acknowledgement.

I sent some train tickets to a mate from the Train Line by recorded post. They never arrived. PO swore blind they'd been delivered. He checked round all his neighbours - no sign. They eventually turned up at the sorting office.

tl;dr Their tracking system is bollocks.

I had the same problem last year.
Turned out the post office do random checks and open items they think may cause issues.
Mainly phones due to the battery. Phone was in one of their security compounds for checking.

I ended up giving a refund to the person.
then the phone got returned over a month later.
I sold it again and posted it with no issues at all.
Postmaster said that this is the norm.

It's amazing how much seems to happen to you. The amount of jobs that you lose, injustices you suffer and points you accumulate.

You should make your own reality TV show.

I have emailed gadget panda they have not yet received it.

Didn't get away from work until gone half 4 the post office was closed when I arrived back home.

I'll wait the fifteen days and begin my own investigation.

Finally been delivered. Panda gadgets have only offered me £75 down from £105 because of a faulty power button which I do not believe to be true.

I'm going to sell it to CEX for £113 voucher.
