Special Delivery Lost? Stuck in DO?

Post by alextth »

This is my first time using the Royal Mail service. I've got 2 special delivery parcels that were collected by Royal Mail on 2nd Sep but they never moved anywhere after the collection. By the looks of the record, they never reached the post office.

I've tried calling Royal Mail but they simply said there is nothing that they can do. I called again a day after to complain and all I've got is a complaint reference number without any explanation of what they will do next. :crazy:

Does anyone have a similar experience? I need the items in the parcels urgently, is there anything that I can do to get them to investigate further?

I am having the same issue. I had a collection on Saturday and the tracking is stuck at the exact same status as yours.

Did yours ever turn up?

Personally I would go to the Post Office and get a receipt, it seems to be a much better option.

Is the collection person keeping this item separate as a SP delivery item ?
Or is it going with all of the other collected parcels ?
