Parcel stuck at Heathrow ?

Post by weld »

Hi everyone

I bought a tee-shirt from a seller in the UK (Manchester) the 11 april 2013, it is not the first time I order from him and I always received my orders within 4 days but this time, when I track the reference number he provided me, I can see that he posted the parcel the 12 april, and since the 12 april, the status is :

DESPATCHABLE TO HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC

When I track my older orders references, I see that this status does not last more than 2 days and this time it has been 5 days without update and of course nothing received !

Can someone please explain me what is going on ?

Thank you in advance.

It's going to France
Really I find it strange because when I track my older orders parcels, it does not stay more than 2 days in this state, now it has been 5 days ...

Thank you

Have you tried tracking with LaPoste? In case it has gone to Paris without a scan.

Otherwise it may just be a case of waiting a couple of days since as I understand from elsewhere on the forum there are currently backlogs at HWDC. Not sure if any other members can confirm?

Yes I tried to track it with every French postal service, none gave a result.
I tried with Royal Mail's twitter and they told me that the parcel seems to have moved yesterday (even if that does not appear on the tracking...)

Thank you for your answers, I hope to receive my parcel soon !
