International parcel - can anyone advise?

Post by EBMP »

Good morning,

I wonder if anyone "in the know" could please shed any light on what might be happening with my parcel?

The parcel is from France to the UK. A few days after dispatch, the international tracking said that it was in The Netherlands, that the address was incomplete and that they were looking for further info.

A day later I receive an email from Royal Mail saying that they are expecting a package from the Netherlands, so I assume the Postal Service in the Netherlands researched my local address and figured out it was destined for the UK. A new tracking number was generated in the Netherlands, which tracks on RM website.

Yesterday the RM website tracking said that it was at my local DO, and they will attempt a delivery yesterday. This didn't happen and there were no further tracking events yesterday.

The next tracking event is this morning, saying that a delivery was attempted at exactly 07:00 this morning. We haven't seen a red card, we were in all morning, and we have a video doorbell, so we know that a delivery wasn't attempted this morning at 07:00.

Could it be that the incomplete address is still causing a problem? I have a scan of the sender's courier receipt that has the full correct address on it.

Any ideas please?
