Royal Mail Jargon Help

[CWoodsworth]

Hi I'm expecting a package shipped out from the UK to Canada. Using the online track and trace I get this message:

"A delivery was attempted for your item with reference _______________ in PL DEL SEC 1 PDO before 11:24 on 16/12/10.
A card may have been left, depending on the country's postal service. If undelivered, it will be returned to the UK."

I was wondering if some one could help me decipher this message. Does it mean the item posted from PL DEL SEC 1 PDO, has had delivery attempted? Or does it mean that a delivery was attempted at that location? OR does it mean that delivery was attempted to customs here in Canada? I'm really not sure what i means any advice would be appreciated. The time stamp is also throwing me off, because I checked the tracking this morning at 9:30 AM (eastern standard time) and its stamped for 2 hours later than that.

If it helps the package was shipped via Airsure from Plymouth, Devon, UK, to Toronto Ontario Canada.

Thanks for the help.

The above means that the item you posted 'from' PL DEL SEC 1 PDO was attempted to be delivered (to the address you posted it to)but the recipient wasn't in and a card (possibly)was left.

Here's what I recieved

"A delivery was attempted for your item with reference __________ in CANADA before 22:38 on 02/03/11. A card may have been left, depending on the country's postal service. If undelivered, it will be returned to the UK."

I did not recieve a card and I'm very anxious because I don't want my package sent back

Then it's down to you to contact your local delivery office over there,it's out of our hands.
I do know your posties are going through the wars over there,their whole system is fecked at the mo.
You're not in Winnipeg by any chance are you.

Looks like it's gone back to the sender.
