Why has my parcel gone to a SECOND mail centre - processing?

Post by GemmaLouise92 »

Ok im quite confused and maybe a little concerned, i ordered to parcels from the same company (first was dispatched 28th March and the second was dispatched on the 29th)
Yesterday i recieved the SECOND parcel, all fine but the FIRST parcel that was dispatched was (according to my tracking) at Leeds Mail Centre being processed up until today where is has gone to Peterborough Mail Centre to be proccessed.. (I live in Devon/Plymouth)
Does anybody know why this parcel could be taking longer than the second one and why it has been/being proccessed at 2 mail centres? (My other parcel was processed at Leeds but then came down to me)

It is standard delivery 3-5 days

Thanks for any help! :)

Depends upon the workload of the mail centres... bearing in mind that Royal Mail, in their infinite wisdom, are closing them down left, right and centre :-/

Bearing in mind it's been a long bank holiday weekend as well, the 3-5 days would mean working days of which there haven't been 5 yet so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Probably someone misread PL on your postcode as PE (peterborough).

I hope not, do you think Peterborough will send it to me if that's the case?

It'll be just sent back to the proper MC to be sent onto the proper DO.
