Automatic £500 insurance if it goes missing and compensation if they dont deliver it before 1pm the next day

Yeah .RM repay the SD fee .....well to the sender obviously.

Tells you its been picked up and in their sytem after its first scan normally after 8pm , and tells you if theres any problem online and when its been delivered ....if you call in though fight your way thru the bots and get to a human with your tracking number they can tell you exactly where the parcel is as it gets scanned w#every time the cage moves premises

UPS and TNT are brilliant with their tracking ,tells you online EXACTLY where the parcel is including when it #s on the van out for delivery a phone call normally gets you a 30 min window when the driver will be s#at your premises .... if carlsberg made delivery services !

If they don't deliver in time, you just get the postage back, though. As you say, insurance (they call it 'compensation') of £500, upgradeable to £2500.

I find it a pretty good service.

Hit and miss this time of year with royal mail , so mnay variables especially with heavy weather in different parts of country that can impact on movement of mail. Overall though in my experience they do a fantastic job , and deliver within 2 days in most cases ... most of the problems when they do happen come down to lacklustre local sorting depot or postman/woman ....

Cant rememebr last time i had a special delivery fail , outstanding service and value for money.

Thats pretty much my experience as well...I'm in Glasgow...My main gripe is when you get a card saying someone tried to deliver a parcel ( Standard Parcels usually) the previous day and you know damn fine you were in ....

I never use a false anything, I'm boringly transparent :-(
