Can I send cash or valuables through Royal Mail?
Royal Mail does not permit the sending of cash or certain valuable items through their standard postal services. This is primarily due to the risk of loss or theft, as well as regulatory requirements that restrict the transportation of certain goods. Instead, Royal Mail recommends using insured services for sending valuable items, such as jewelry or electronic devices. For items that have a higher intrinsic value, customers can consider using Royal Mail's Special Delivery Guaranteed service, which offers tracking and compensation for lost or damaged items. It is also advisable to securely package any valuable items to minimize the risk during transit. To find more detailed information regarding what can or cannot be sent, you may wish to refer to the specific guidelines on the Royal Mail website. They provide comprehensive information on prohibited items and their recommendations for secure sending.
