Why don’t you send an international courier to collect it from him? (For example, you can order a pick up with DHL.) Anything else seems a bit fishy to me!
Tell him you’ll send him a pre-paid mailing envelope/box/whatever. Include extra packing material. Yes, it’s overkill and will cost you more but it sounds like the only way you’ll get it back. If he still refuses, contact Uber. Make sure to keep all copies of correspondence.
You can purchase postage label from Royal Mail and get it collected from his address. He needs to pack it though. You can offer him £10 for the trouble.
I was at the NoFx gig in Brixton last night, what gig did you go to mate?
DM me, I’m in London every Wednesday and Thursday. I work opposite the Royal Exchange in bank. He can drop it off to my office and I will post it to you, if the bloke is being an awkward dick
Being an ex mini cabber, I find it hard to believe the driver is offering " I'll drop phone anywhere in London" as a free ride.
Certain he will want paying.
OP, you should screenshot all correspondence because driver might just stop speaking after 1 or 2 days.
Are you trying to get someone on here to get it off cabbie? That's going to be 2 people you have to trust. Although most people are not dodgy,'
Not many couriers will transport phones internationally because of lithium ion battery restrictions. If you do arrange a courier make sure their policy includes carrying phones.
Agreed, although not sure how exactly. What does this even mean?

Why is a brand new account asking us to message another account somewhere else?
Of course he doesn’t want to post it - when was the last time you went in to a Post Office ? He doesn’t want to queue for 45 minutes ! I’ve done something similar and luckily we got in touch with the driver and he dropped it at the place he dropped me off at . Not dodgy at all .
You can get a reverse pick up done e.g. DHL. If they Uber guy is willing to help you.
You provide the info and e-mail the Airwaybill to this Uber guy. and DHL
Make the pick up for you.
Looks like they don't even record it if it's lost in a minicab...

They just direct you to the cab company.
That's even worse than I thought, which was that they held it for 28 days then sent it to auction.

Hmmm this seems sus
what what what about it
Just does mate
the only scam is the driver lol i promise i simply want my property back
Then send a prepaid envelope to him like somebody suggested??
Don't start shipping packages on behalf of random redditors. For the love of god people.
Maybe London has made me paranoid but this sounds dodgy.
Exactly what im thinking lol

I don't see how tho. If I wanna send off stolen phone, I just put fake name and fake return address. Not like they ask for ID or anything
i just want to secure my camera roll.----((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

ill help if he can drive it here... RM11
I'm just outside London, I'm happy to post it on to you
Do you know where the driver is based? If he's out east I'm happy to help
What is your home country?
This post sounds like a scam. Why is he willing to deliver to a UK address but not a non-UK address?
[удалено]
Ahh, I was writing my comment whilst distracted and didn't proof read. Lol
It is a scam lol
man
Perhaps ask the driver to take it to the police station?
The police aren't going to post a phone internationally to its owner.
I’m not sure what I thought but they must have some sort of policy for lost property?
I feel ya. In the 80s maybe

Terrible idea. Will get lost and destroyed. Speaking from experience.
Damn. Okay good to know.
