When sending a parcel via recorded delivery, they come in "grey" plasitc bags, i am guessing you get them from the psot office but do i have to pay for them?
I am sending a phone i sold on ebay, do i just get the box and go into post office wit hit like that and theyll give me a bag if its recorded deliverey?
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question i havent ever done it before

pack it up as you would and just ask when you post for recorded delivery, usually just a sticker they put on, and they ask for your address

Recorded delivery & special delivery are 2 very different services - if its something of value make sure it goes special, ive lost out sending recorded before when my parcel didnt turn up & it offered me no guarentee or compensation!!
No idea about the bags, probably pag it & seal it infront of you then thats it until its signed for!!

Special recorded delivery covers the item for a value of £30 plus and recorded is up to £30 for insurance.
I dont know if they charge for the bags
