Buyer paid for standard postage but the cheapest option provided was for first class post
Hi
I received a business order for a bookC for which the buyer paid standard postage.
Amazon did not offer the usual standard Royal Mail label (£1.80), the cheapest option offered was for first class post (£3.30). I had no choice but to accept this if I wanted to get the item dispatched.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Any comments much appreciated.

I would guess that Amazon think 2nd class post wouldn't arrive in time to meet the promised delivery date, so they're not offering it to you. No way to know for sure if that's what's happened, unfortunately.

I have had this happen a lot recently, however all the orders that had only a first class option were orders that were local to me. It is really annoying when selling a book or knitting pattern that the first class postage takes any profit there would have been. If you don't buy the postage through Amazon it affects VTR

Hi, I believe amazons algorithms identify areas where Royal Mail deliveries are showing as slower than normal and therefore for that area won't offer a 2nd class option as it would potentially affect the delivery date - so to avoid any dramas they only offer 1st Class or Evri next day. At least this is my experience - not much you can do sadly.

I've had the same thing. It's really annoying that rather than extending a delivery date, Amazon forces more expensive shipping. My items are cheap, too.
I had a business customer who wasn't marked as being open on Saturday, so I had to post as first class.
