Sent my passport by Royal Mail first class signed for to DVLA and they say just the envelope just reached without any contents...apparently Royal mail lost the contents..all they can do is ask me to fill a p58 form which gives a 34£ compensation....what do u guys reckon? how abt suing RM?

This was recorded delivery?
I had to send mine only a couple of weeks ago used DHL, cost plenty but speed and reliability were a factor - I've had too many bad experiences with the RM especially where redirection is concerned.Last edited by scooterscot; 7 May 2007, 20:38."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

It was signed for first class...But in any case RM are not liable for the contents in the envelopes?? thats not right..is it?Originally posted by scooterscotComment

You should have used Special Delivery - costs extra few quid, but RM's liability is much higher - up to £500, though chances of getting more than cost of new passport are probably slim: like everything all that insurance is a con.Comment

If it doesn't go missing in the post it can go missing in DVLA. I was advised to take any documents to a local DVLA office for processing.Comment
