SD Sat 1PM - item not moved in 3 days

Post by mu5icdj »

Hiya, sent a pretty sensitive letter off on Friday morning using SD Sat 1PM.
since then the tracking hasn't updated since 0115 on Saturday morning saying 'arrived at South Mids MC'
Anyone here that works in there that can help or any advice to give? Many thanks.

South Mids MC manages numerous direct deliveries to large companies, government departments, and various organizations. If you've sent a letter to one of these recipients, it has likely arrived, but the Royal Mail's tracking system may take several days to update. Furthermore, the company or department may not have updated their internal systems yet.

As for Special Delivery items, they are stored in a locked cage with limited access. Every individual who handles these items is required to sign for them. While there is a very small chance of these items going missing, the risk is minimal.

I'd be willing to bet this is an item destined to HMRC. In which case, it;s very common for the tracking to be a total failure.
