To submit a claim by post you’ll need to get a P58 form from a Post Office branch and send it to Royal Mail using the address on the form. Include a photocopy of proof you purchased the postage. Please wait 15 days after posting before sending a P58.

If you miss an attempted delivery by Royal Mail or Parcelforce Worldwide, they’ll leave a red ‘Something for You’ card to tell you they tried to deliver your parcel.
What happens next depends on the courier. They might attempt to redeliver your item, or you may need to collect it from a local depot. Please check the missed deliveries page for the courier you used.
