I've sold a couple of items today and the buyer has asked for them to be posted together and sent recorded delivery. I've looked on the Royal Mail website and can't find a price for recorded delivery. There is signed for or standard as far as I can make out. Am I being really dense and not looking in the right place or not understanding the website correctly. Or is record delivery sometimes called something else and that's why I'm missing it?

Doesn't exist any more. You can send it " signed for" either 1st or 2nd class
I think anyway.
There is a posting app called Postie I use to estimate.

you need to send everything with proof of delivery for seller protection, so royal mail or courier to prevent a buyer claiming not received and claiming the money back..

What was known as Recorded Delivery IS now called Signed-For!

Signed isn't tracked and only gets a signature on delivery. If it goes missing between the Post Office and the addressee, they cannot find where it is.
