Ok, first thing is that Recorded Delivery is *not* guaranteed next working day delivery, it has to be sent by Special Delivery for that, so it's entirely conceivable that it's still stuck in the system.

As others have said, get the tracking number, although that only logs when it entered the system and if/ when delivery is attempted.

It is possible that they've tried to deliver but just not left a card (or gone to the wrong address or it's been nicked if you share a door with someone else).

If you want proof I will gladly photocopy the document so that I cannot be to blame for the item not arriving,
Whilst he cannot be held to blame, he is still responsible for the item until it is delivered into your hands/ property.

I've seen eBay sellers that say things like "We aren't responsible if you don't get the goods and you will have to claim from Royal Mail" but that's BS because they are and if an item gets lost the *sender* has to claim from the Post Office, not the recipient.

See what happens when (if) you get the tracking number.
