Hello.

Just looking for some advice. I posted a 24hr Tracked with Signature on Wed 18th March (this was after last post) So in theory delivery would be Friday 20th March (best case)
my tracking history is below.
Is there currently a lengthy delay or is my letter lost. It is sort of urgent but if lost then I need to get another copy sorted so wondering if there are issues I will wait, if its probably lost well I will start the ball rolling on a new letter.

Was it going to a government department or big firm who might receive hundreds of letters a day?

Lichfield DO has been on the naughty list a lot over the last few months, so it may well be sitting there waiting to be delivered?

"the naughty list"
So basically not delivering? Assume driving there and asking if they have my letter would get me nowhere.
(To add I would in no way be hostile, years spent in hospitality I hate when people get angry with people just going about their work day)
I'd just ask politely :)

If you look in the Blue Shirts section, there's a thread called 'Offices officially in trouble' - that's the naughty list.

In practice, there's many more that aren't on that list that should be!

The only way you could go to the DO and ask, is if you live at the address it's going to and you have corresponding ID. Otherwise they're highly unlikely to even entertain it.

Sadly I don't I sent it and have the receipt.
Guess I just assume its lost as the tracking hasn't updated and I don't think the person has received it.
