Didn't receive a package on time? Then you're entitled to a refund or compensation from Royal Mail. Trying to claim a refund from any company is almost always hard work, and sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it. That being said, how do you get a Royal Mail special delivery refund?

DoNotPay can easily help you claim your refund from Royal Mail. Sometimes all it takes is sending a chargeback letter to your bank.

How to Get a Royal Mail Special Delivery Refund on Your Own

You can apply for a refund from Royal Mail if your special delivery item was delivered late or without a signature. Accidents happen, but you shouldn't be obligated to pay a shipping fee when your item didn't arrive on time.

To get a Royal Mail Special Delivery refund:

1. Go to the Help Center page on Royal Mail's website.
2. Search for 'special delivery refund'.
3. Click on the option that says 'My Special Delivery item was delivered late and/or without a signature, how do I claim a refund?'.
4. At the bottom of the page, click the option that says 'Apply for a refund'.
5. You will be prompted to answer a few questions and input your information, as well as the recipient's information.
6. Once you enter all the information, Royal Mail will look over your case and make a decision.

It is not guaranteed you'll receive a refund from Royal Mail. The final decision is entirely up to the company.

Royal Mail's Refund Policy

You must file a claim within 14 days of the delivery date if the item has been delivered. The compensation you receive for a delayed package depends on how long the delivery was delayed. You can file a claim for a Special Delivery refund one day after the delivery due date, as long as said day isn't a Sunday or holiday. The maximum refund for a delayed Special Delivery package is 10 pounds.

All claims must include:

• Your name and address, as well as the name and address of the recipient
• Specify the package was Special Delivery
• The place and date of posting
• Date of delivery
• Postage method
• Postage paid
• Product documentation

Issues You Might Encounter When Requesting a Refund

Royal Mail may choose to deny your request for a Special Delivery refund. The company only recently reinstated the signature guarantee on 01/05/2022, so any item mailed out before then isn't eligible for compensation if it wasn't signed for. There can also be a problem if the package was redirected. Royal Mail often requires an extra day to deliver the item if sent to the wrong address.
