According to the website, it said the parcel will be kept for 18 days. But now, it seems the parcel will be returned to Hong Kong. What does it mean? Does it mean that my delivering address is incorrect or cannot contact the receiver?

Thank you.

You are probably best to contact Royal Mail direct and they'll probably get an investigation going.

It's a very confusing scan history, in fact, I count 2 Delivered and 2 delivery attempted scans, some less than an hour apart. They don't make sense.


However, the only reason why items are returned to sender so quick is either the address is invalid or when it was delivered the item was refused.

That depends... what was the last tracking point? (Your tracking above only goes up to the 17th).

Two possibilities spring to mind:

It hasn't got a return address on it;

There is something inside which is banned from flying (at this end) or banned by Hong Kong's customs.

Either of those would result in a long time with no tracking and that last scan.
