Unable to track a package

Post by bkleinfi »

Hi,

I am expecting a package sent from the UK to France with Royal Mail's International Signed-For service. Supposedly, it has been shipped on February 10th.

As of today, I cannot find it on Royal Mail website using the tracking number (RQ138170024GB). The sender argues that it is normal, that packages may take a long time before showing up in the tracking system and that Royal Mail guarantees delivery in 30 days (the expected delivery date according to eBay was February 14th !).

Now, I wonder if the package has even been sent... Can someone tell me if I am being ripped off or if it happens that packages don't show up in the tracking system ?

Thanks !

Ben

Sounds a little fishy to me, I would expect it to show having a scan at either the sender's local mail centre or Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre (HWDC). Check with the sender that they've sent you the correct tracking number
