Default Who do I complain to?

Come home today and as we're pulling into the driveway I see this:




Immediate thoughts are "**** I hope they didn't bend that to get it to stay in there, I hope that's just resting in there"

Upon opening the letterbox I see this:




Again, Immediate thoughts were "I really hope the contents of that tube aren't damaged"



However, on taking the tube out of the box and peeking inside, THERE'S ****ING NOTHING IN THERE!!!


So, somewhere between Jay & Silent Bobs Secret Stash in Red Bank NJ, and my house in Gravesend 3 awesome posters have been stolen!

I assume Royal Mail should be liable, considering they shouldn't have even attempted to leave it at my door like that.
Where to complain to?

Start at both ends - Royal Mail for the damage, and the supplier for the missing posters (unless of course you can show the tube was opened in transit, but now you've opened it I guess that isn't possible).

It was already torn open at where it's bent.

OK, so you're probably free of custom duty (I think it's anything under £18 is ok) so just go straight to the horse & complain. Keep your photographs & complain both to the company you bought them from & Royal Mail. Keep all your packaging etc for evidence - but don't expect a speedy resolution, they will go around the houses to try and put you off.
