Special delivery Status redirected

Post by katana2k11 »

Hi all im new to these forums, i have a simple question i have paid for royal mail next day saturday delivery to northern ireland, it was not delivered on saturday but was scheduled for today and has not arrive instead, when i go to track the item it says redirected can someone please tell me what this means. Has it been sent to a different sorting office or has it been misplaced somewhere along the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to pay extra for a saturday delivery, but it should have been delivered today. More than likely its in the mail centre in Mallusk, cause special deliverys are scanned at delivery offices to say there out for delivery.

RM run a Twitter service which seems to work @RoyalMail but they only work office hours (9-5 I think).

hi, sorry to hear of your SD issues.

your only option would be to take it up with royal mail.

i believe twitter is the best way of comnuication @royalmail within office hours.

hope you get sorted.
