Parcel for Finland stuck in UK depot ....

Post by Queenie1 »

Hi all,

First post, so be gentle :-)

I posted a parcel to Finland on 12/4, using airsure. I was informed that the parcel has not yet been received and when I track it, I get the message that the parcel has been received on 12/4 in the international depot and made ready for posting. This is 10 days already! Should I start worrying the parcel is lost?
The person in Finland told me it usually takes 4-5 days for the tracking status to change, but so far it seems to be stuck in the UK. :sad:

Tracking nr is RJ989711940GB

Something strange going on there as according to the more detailed Track and Trace on Royal Mail's website (http://www.royalmail.com/trackdetails" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;):

Your tracked items details
Reference number: RJ989711940GB
Date Time Status Track point
12/04/12 20:46 COLLECTED JUBILEE MAIL CENTRE
12/04/12 15:16 ACCEPTED AT POL 185 Earls Court SW5 9RB

When you did a track and trace on the item was it on the website of Finland's equivalent of Royal Mail?

I only tracked it on the RM site, as nothing shows up on the Finnish site.
Am getting really worried now.

I contacted RM, they think the parcel has left but has not tracked and told me to claim my loss in 20 days.
Is there any chance it will still arrive, or has the parcel mysteriously vanished..... :sad: :thumbdown

It may just turn up,or it has been delivered but hasn't been scanned in overseas,you could try and contact who you sent it to.

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.
