A cycling computer would often contain a lithium battery, which is banned from the mail in Singapore:

Did your parcel contain a lithium battery?

I am new to this forum. I hoped by using track and trace my small packet would arrive more quickly and more securely. Now I wonder if that is true as my packet, to Latvia, seems to be stuck in London AMU and seeking to know what that is I found it seems to be a common problem. It seems now to be unlikely to reach its destination in the time frame stated by Royal Mail. I will of course complain to Royal Mail if this happens.
Have I understood correctly? AMU is Address Management Unit, which extracts addresses from posted items and sells them to third parties.
If that is true that is disgraceful and might explain why things get ‘stuck’ in AMU as it means an additional activity which has nothing to do with post. Is it true?
My packet passed through Langley so the delay is not with customs (and there was no reason to be a problem - no batteries etc).
Previously I have sent small packets to the same person/address, usually small birthday/Christmas presents for children, eing careful not to include anything needing batteries, without track and trace, and they don’t seem to have been ‘stuck’ anywhere.

Did any of these delayed packages eventually get released and how long did it take?

hi
i noticed that my package was on the status of "leaving the UK" from LANGLEY HWDC. and then today, it was updated to LONDON AMU, still "leaving the UK". the package is a poster of "THE TERMINATOR" movie, of an official artist (link here of reference https://davincisdreams.com/collections/ ... ox-variant)- shipping to Israel. the sender shipped it to me this monday, so it might be early to tell. it just seems odd that it traveled to LONDON AMU, so I searched online and found this forum, and got a bit worried that there is something wrong with the shipment. anyway I have looked at rhe list of prohibited items, and it seems that nothing there describes my poster exactly, so I don't believe it is held back. what could it be?

Hi,
This is the status of my parcel and has been stuck in London AMU for over 3 weeks. It is a pair of rock climbing shoes delivering to Singapore. Don’t see it being on any of the prohibited list of items in my country.
Does anyone know what’s the delay about?

Yeah I checked SingPost online with the tracking no.
But they said that tracking number doesn’t exist.. so currently not sure about the exact location of the parcel.
Sender said that it should continue to update all the way till it’s delivered so I’m guessing it got stuck at LONDON AMU due to the covid situation

I've in fact checked with Singpost and even SG customs to no avail.
Anyway, just glad that my case is not an anomaly.
