    What delivery method for selling GTX 260 (royal mail)

    I'm looking on the Post Office website now and 'recorded signed for' seems suitable enough but then doesn't actually say it covers parcels on the product page :/

    Ideally i don't want to be forking out over £5 for delivery yet still want something more respectable than 2nd class.

    Edit: I mean the Post Office ^^.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Just take the parcel to the post office, say you want "signed for",and put your parcel on the scales. They'll tell you the price and you can accept or not.

    Recorded covers you for "lost or damaged items, up to £41 (excludes cash and jewellery)"
    Source - http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/p...diaId=19100220.
    Whenever I sell items online I either use Royal Mail recorded delivery or http://www.parcel2go.com/ (the latter you can choose who to send your parcel with and have it picked up from wherever you specify, very handy).

    If the card is worth over £50 I would use Special Delivery especially if it is an Ebay sale. It is a guaranteed delivery service unlike Recorded Delivery.
