Tracked 48 hasn't moved from Delivery office for 2 days

Post by MyNameIsMike »

Hi all,

I have a Tracked 48 package that got down to the delivery office (Wandsworth , London) where it was scanned ready for delivery on Monday (29th).

It has yet to arrive.

Tracking number: TQ251769433GB

Could it have been misplaced at the delivery office?

Not sure what I or my customer can do (I'm the sender), I'm pretty sure the 020 number will just redirect me to RM CS who will just tell me to wait to claim.

Could my customer go to the DO with ID and the tracking number and ask them to look for it?

Thank you.

It’s quite likely that the Delivery Office just don’t have anyone to cover that round, which is why it hasn’t moved.

Thank you.
If I were the recipient I'd go down the delivery office and ask for them to check at the back and let them collect it. If they find a nice member of staff willing to go and check at the back this should be feasible.
I've had to do so myself a few times but I've had times where the person at the counter was just unwilling to do anything extra besides just picking up an item ready for collection. They gotta be lucky and find the nice ones. Recipient could always ask to speak to a manager also and complain about this.
I had to wait days once for a tracked 24 parcel to be delivered. It was left sitting at the delivery office, ready for delivery, for days and it's infuriating when that happens. If you don't have enough staff then hire more people. You don't take my money and give me such bad service. The management is to blame.

I'm sure if they go down the delivery office and ask to collect it after so many days without any attempt of delivering it, since it's just sitting there, they should be able to come out of the office with their item at last.
