Recorded delivery, or signed for delivery as it’s often called, is where the courier will collect a signature from the recipient as proof of delivery. This means you can be safe in the knowledge that your parcel has reached its intended destination without any issues and has arrived in good condition.
Our recorded delivery partners will usually collect an electronic signature on a hand-held device.
Recorded delivery prices will vary, depending on the size and weight of your parcel and the courier you send it with. However, Parcel Monkey recorded delivery costs are significantly discounted, making our recorded delivery services cheaper than Royal Mail Signed For.
