oh wow I never thought about that, good point, technically yes, i guess.
Same thing happened to me last year. I kept the parcel for about 3 months in case they contacted me about it, which they did not, and then felt okay about keeping it.
Items sent by recorded delivery are only kept for one week at the Delivery Office. Non-recorded items are kept for one month.If you post a parcel with recorded delivery and they don't pick up the item.Is the item legally yours?
I would phone the post office.You do not want to end up getting prosecuted.
Ownership of an item will not change through posting it anywhere.
The owner is the person who has legal title to it, and that cannot change just because it was not collected or misdelivered.
For example, if you mail something belonging to me to a friend, and it is returned to you undelivered, the item does not become your property. It would still belong to me.
If someone has paid you for an item, and it is not collected by him when recorded delivery fails, for whatever reason, he is still the rightful owner.If you post a parcel with recorded delivery and they don't pick up the item.Is the item legally yours?
I guess if the Royal Mail return it to you after they have waited the required time for it to be collected then the answer is yes its yours
No, you haven't paid for it so (legally) property of the item would not have transferred to you. In order for that to happen you must treat it as 'found property' you would turn it into the local police station and NOTIFY those that might have a claim on the property, if after 90 days they fail to claim it, THEN you could claim it as 'found property' and it would become yours.
hmmm maybe but Id ask at the post office and see what they say
Were you returning the parcel because you didn't want it? If so and the post office was unable to deliver then you are still responsible to pay for it. If instead, you were sending a parcel and it was returned then you still own it. If the receiver had paid for it, then you need to refund the money. Since the address you have is invalid, you will need to keep the money unspent for at least a year until the other party has had a chance to contact you and provide a new address for delivery of the parcel.
