- I was somewhat amazed that a £149 device was sent out by standard mail rather than a signed for service like RMSD or Registered, or Home Delivery Network, which Amazon use a lot. I've had the same postman for nearly 20 years so I am very lucky but we have had things go missing when he's been on holiday (loaded gift cards my mum sent).
