Fasttech - Packet Signed For ?

[oldleatherlungs]

After getting some good advice on here about buying from Fasttech See my earlier thread   I placed three orders. Unfortunately one of them didn't make it, but eventually I got a refund so quite happy with the experience.

I'm off on holiday for a few weeks shortly and I thought I would bang a couple more orders in and hopefully they might be on my doormat when I return

I can't for the life of me remember (senior moment) whether I had to sign for the previous orders, or whether the postie just shoved the packets through the letter box.

Can anyone shed any light - I will be using China Post.

No sig required via China Post

If the postie can't physically get them through your door, the worst that will happen is that you are 'red-carded', and will have to pop down to your local Post Office to collect them. Don't forget to take some ID with you

Some have required signatures . . . . while others haven't in my experience oldleatherlungs, even via China Post. I think my local office errs on the picky side.

Worst case scenario if you're away and any parcels do get returned to the SO - you'll have a maximum 18 calendar days to collect them from there.

For a change I'm hoping FT are slow shipping my last order. I have never had to sign for any from them, but we are away for nearly three weeks in a couple of weeks. Don't want them red carded and find out they have gone back to China.

Contact your local PO sorting office and tell them to hold the mail for you for the period your away.

Thanks for all your comments.
I've placed a couple of orders now and because I'm away for 6 weeks I'll do as sydsut suggested and get in touch with my sorting office.

Scratch that idea - it will cost £44 for the period we are away, which is far more than the value of the orders. Royal Mail Keepsafe

I'll get my son to pop round once a week to see if there are any red cards and then pick up my parcels.

Thanks for all your help
