Package stuck at Gatwick MC

Post by awvor »

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help me. I have a package that’s been stuck at Gatwick MC for quite a while now. I’ve already raised a claim, but I haven’t received any response yet.

The package contains two glasses for my wife and a small amount of meat. The tracking number is RF310330472ES.

Does anyone know if there’s a chance of retrieving it?

Thanks in advance for any advice, and have a great day!

Been binned if you sent a parcel nearly 3 months ago from Spain to UK that contained MEAT .

The meat might very well have been removed by customs. It depends if the meat would meet the customs regs.

Hi,

Thanks for the answers! If they binned the meat, did they also throw away the other parts of the package?

If the meat wasn't vacuum sealed I guess it was probably a health hazard and the whole parcel would have been destroyed, just a hunch.
