Sounds like the contents of the package are something that's not allowed to go by plane and the item is being sent to the National Returns Centre at Belfast. Did you put the return address on the package?

NO,I haven't put return address, I don't think it has any problem with package because my friend sent same things 6 days before and it has been delivered successfully,it should be a notification that it can not be delivered for me.How can I contract Royal mail office with this?

Did not new/updated regulations on Dangerous Goods come in a couple of weeks ago?

Do not Fly means that your parcel will never leave the UK - it will be on its way back to the sender?

Also, as an aside thought, could implementation/adaptation to new regs on Dangerous Goods be causing delays at HWDC as they settle in to new policies?

Sorry - I should not have added that second question mark!

DO NOT FLY means your items WILL be returned to sender. I'd suggest contacting them directly if I were you.

I guess the only way is via Royal Mail Customer Services on 08457 740 740.

Please bear in mind that any Prohibited Items in the packet will likely have been destroyed and will not be returned to you. You cannot, I understand, claim for these in this situation.
