Hi. I ordered a parcel from Hongkong. Seller provided tracking number which worked fine until the package reached UK. It now only shows royal mail having been advised of parcel. That was a week ago.

Customer service say the tracking number is not for an international parcel, even tho I have used it for the whole journey.

Tracking number is WL131343184GB

Any help much appreciated!

Yes it says it's Royal Mail tracked 48

What tracking site are you using because the Royal Mail one just say's it's been despatched to us and that's it.

Just a little point which seems to be a normal thing with a lot of Chinese sellers.
The chinese seller sends bulk items/all their items to say a wharehouse over here, then they get said items and re package and then put through Royal Mails system.

I had a small packet the other day which had Royal Mail tracked 48 on it but it took a month to come from China.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Ah that makes sense. I thought tracking would be to my home address. Strange the tracking number worked when it was overseas, when it's not an international tracking number!

But as you say, they may be sending again from a UK warehouse.

I'm happy to wait, just as long as I know what's happening!

Thanks for reply
