Yup. They did...

I can't disprove what you say as I no longer work for Royal Mail. But I
did, for over 10 years, as a manager in a delivery/sorting office and
this was NEVER the practice. I think you have probably misunderstood
that which was explained to you.

Royal Mail have done all they were meant to do up to the point of
delivery or notification of pending delivery.

I am not ruling out that someone may have made a mistake, or a policy
change has occured, of course.

You on the other hand consider Royal Mail "scumbags" because they
allegedly marked the item as delivered, even though they also gave you
notification of payment required, *and* explained what would occur
thereafter, if indeed this is now the procedure.

No it wasn't. They left a card saying it wasn't delivered and at the depot
awaiting a rather large wad of cash. If that's "Delivered (With POD)" in
your world, you need to move.

Lose the attitude.

I said Royal Mail had done all they were paid, or not paid to do.

Royal Mail issued you with a card stating a payment was required. That
is all they are required to do, and they did it. You then refused to pay
the amount - you refused delivery.

Your beef is with the seller, not Royal Mail.

As you have refused delivery, Royal Mail will obviously record the item
as such, you contact the seller, or your credit card company, and
hopefully get the matter sorted out.
