Didn't your mum ever tell you to never send cash n the post? I can't believe that people still do this.
No wonder it got stolen, the postman probably felt the £3 in loose change rattling around the envelope.
Kiss good bye to your money and put it down to a lesson learnt. |

only way is if you sent it special delivery otherwise no chance as the letter was not insured[postman] |

did you get a certificate of postage?
Compensation of up to £32 for loss or damage, providing you show your free certificate of posting.
also you could report to police, get a crime number and then claim off of house insurance, check you policy first. |

Royal Mail states specifically, on its website and prominently at all post offices, that cash, jewellery and other valuables should not be sent in the ordinary post. That''s why there is an insured Next Working Day service.
If you can prove you posted it (the postmarked envelope should suffice), then you can attempt to claim £32 back but I doubt very much if Royal Mail will pay up. |

It happens all the time. I send a card with £10 cash in it for my niece's birthday and it was gone. I have learned from this and now only send postal orders and cheques. There is nothing you can do. You can complain to your post office but they will just say they are sorry and that's the end of it unless you sent it special delivery and had it insured. Even then I doubt that actual cash is protected as they themselves ask that it's sent as a postal order. |

On two occassions I have sent $200 cash to the USA with birthday cards and I cross my fingers they get there.
I know that if it gets nicked on the way...thats MY problem and I will just have to live with it. |

i doubt it as i think royal mail advise against sending cash in the post - you may be in luck if you used a sign for type of delivery.
next time use a postal order |

The Royal Mail always clearly states not to send cash or valuables through the regular post - but why is that? Is it because they know that there are many thieves 'working' for the post sorting office? I would send another package to the same address and this time enclose a mouse trap. Thieving gits |

Yes indeed there is. You need to write a very stern letter to the customer services department explaining everything (phoning will get you nowhere) You need to state when and where it was posted.
You will then be sent a compensation form and the money will be returned to you.
Next time, DON'T send cash, or if you really have to put it in another envelope, so it can't be seen from the outside. |

unless you sent it special or at least recorded delivery then no the most you can do is report it you should of sent it special delivery as it would then of been insured and you could of claimed the money back |
