Do we collect anything from amazon on a bank holiday, as i've just had a email informing me my order has been despatched. Also does anyone know why amazon specials are no longer trackable, as they do not provide the Track and Trace number any more.

There's been the 13 digit number on all Amazon Special Deliveries I've seen lately.

No nothing has changed from our end, but they no longer send the 13 digit number in the despatch email, and says this order cannot be tracked on the account page.

HDNL are delivering today so I'd assume they are also collecting so they may be the ones dealing with your Amazon packet.

Nope says despatched by RM special delivery, can't see amazon switching from SD to tracked as they would lose guaranteed next day status.

Tracked next day service.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I'm surprised that Amazon hasn't sorted out some sort of interface with RM's Track & Trace. When Amazon send something out by CityLink you can Track it via your orders section on the Amazon site.

Just imagine if they switch ALL their stuff over to Tracked Next Day (with Guarenteed Express Delivery presumably being either RM SD or CityLink :silenced

I had no tracking number with my last Amazon deliveries.

They sent one lot out with another courier (worth less than the ones they sent out by RM?!)
