i sent the Croatian Post office an email and they replied

Dear Sir,

as you saw your shipment has left Croatia on 27.3.2013. and entered United Kingdom on 31.3.2013. As we have no possibility of tracking shipment in United Kingdom we advise you to contact UK postal service for information af whereabouts of your shipment.

Kind regards,

It is probably moving as far as I know items from Croatia are not scanned throughout their journey only on delivery. There is a chance that it has been delivered but not signed for - I would check with your mail forwarding service (ARAMEX ?)

Langley/Heathrow are the same place and it's not unusual for an item to be sat there a while. It's only been 5 days, some of those were bank holidays so I wouldn't worry about it just yet. Maybe start worrying in a few weeks if it hasn't appeared.

I think you just need to sit tight for a little while. If it hasn't arrived in another week or so you could try contacting Royal Mail themselves on Twitter (@RoyalMail), they're usually very prompt at responding.

1. It didn't say they don't have access to the whole system. It said that the system is giving no more information. Probably for the reasons I stated in one of my replies.

2. It took 5 days to leave Croatia (Zagreb to Split 250 miles) - that is if I may say a long time I did that journey in 1995 and it took us 10 hours then, well actually from Ploce - but its close enough :wink:

3. There is nothing that can be done, it can only be classed as lost after 15 working days - as it entered the country on 31 Mar your only at 6 days. Also as Croatia does not pay RM for point to point tracking its not a service that is provided so customer services won't be able to give you any more information till its delivered.

4. One reason it may be delayed is because of it having to clear customs and another is that some places in the UK suffered because of high snowfall in the week before, this may have caused backlogs both in Customs and in Royal Mail. The British are not as used to snow as perhaps those living in where you do. :Very Happy

thanks for the info :D

i got this message today from the costumer service
Thank you for your recent email about an item of mail you posted to the UK from overseas. I am sorry to hear that your item has not yet been delivered and hope you will accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

As you may be aware, our Track & Trace system indicates that your item arrived in the UK on 31/03/13 so we would have expected it to have been delivered shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, there is no further trace of your item on our Track & Trace system at this time so I regret that I cannot confirm its current whereabouts or say what might have caused it to go astray.

In order to investigate this matter, we recommend that you contact your own postal administration with the posting details. We have a Universal Postal Agreement with all our international partners, which means all enquiries and claims relating to international mail must be initiated by the senders in the country of origin. Please see the Universal Postal Union's website at http://www.upu.int" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for further details regarding this.

Where applicable, the postal administration in the item's country of origin will liaise with Royal Mail to investigate the loss. They will then respond to you directly, just as soon as their enquiries are complete.

I hope you have found this information useful and that this explanation resolves your enquiry. Please accept my apologies, once again, for any inconvenience caused and if there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

Regards

Nicole Johnson
Customer Service Advisor

That really is the only course of action available right now. What compensation available if any will depend on the Croatian Post Office and the Terms and Conditions of the service used.

Good luck!
