All my Christmas gifts never delivered

Post by wildwilly »

Hello...

I live in Slough, Berkshire and I was very unhappy over Christmas I received no gifts from my family in Canada. This morning I received a call from my family saying the presents have all been returned to them, marked "undeliverable". They paid $30 to send it and a further $30 to pick it up in Canada 2 months later. I can confirm the address marked on the packages was correct.

For me, I was in my flat every day and never received a ring on the doorbell nor received a card to pick up a package.

This is not my first bad experience with Royal Mail... In fact, I have not had a good experience. I can list the number of times my mail has been messed up but that is not constructive. I have left a complaint with the Royal Post. The whole experience is very frustrating and I look forward to the day I only have to use UPS.

Thanks for your time.

If your parcels were returned "undeliverable", what makes you think UPS could have delivered them ?

Where they sent via Canada's equivalent of Royal Mail or via UPS?

i find it rather hard to believe you was in your flat everyday for a period of about a month without going out. Why do people always refuse to accept there is a possiblity that they wasnt in or didnt hear the buzzer. Do you not have a hair dryer or a hoover or play music or anything that means you might not of heard the door?

Virtually the same options TBT but in English/French.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
