Looking at this entry:

29/09/14 21:49 DESPATCHABLE TONATIONAL RETURN CENTRE TYNESIDE MAIL CENTRE

Was there anything in the package that could be considered a "no-fly" item?

doesn't really count for much tbqf. It looks very much like it's been sent to the NRC at Belfast. The dun in the bag that it was supposed to be in might not have been reprinted when the item was removed and scanned out to the NRC. If the number of items in the bag matched the number of items on the dun then the dun will have been scanned as receive bag.

I think it may be the cream protector that has caused the issue, I think you will find it has in fact gone to the returns centre unfortunately

The offending item would be removed and then either the remaining s returned to sender or sent on,
