International tracked postage from UK

[sprinklespowerpuff]

Hi all, could you please clarify for me what happens with a small package from UK sent here by International Tracked Postage? What exactly does that entail ie: does it mean I sign for it on delivery and what happens if it doesn't arrive? Do both seller and I get our money back? Thanks heaps.

International Tracked is a new Royal Mail service....it is fully tracked at 5 points and there is online confirmation of delivery.  You do not sign for it.

Only your seller would know if it complies with the UK rules for paypal protection.

There is a service of International Signed For which is only tracked in the UK and you do need to sign for it.  From an experience some 18 months ago it is not acceptable for paypal seller protection.....I got a refund, seller lost their money.

There is also another new service called International Tracked and Signed.....I guess it is the best of both systems as you would have to sign for it and it would be fully trackable.

Only your seller would know which service is going to give her paypal protection.

Thankyou Lyndal for your advice. Much appreciated. The 2 options I had for the item I bought was the usual "small packets" and the new International Tracked so a no brainer really for me - didn't want my purchase going missing without any trace at all but I would have thought it would be a signed for service. Best regards.
