[strobez1977]

Hi i posted a recorded letter on wd 31 march at around 3:30pm hoping it would get delivered the follwing day as i wanted it delivered before good fri etc..

i keep checking on the status of this on the tracking site and all i get is -

Item AG£$%%£$%£%£%£GB was posted at 107 Shipdam Road NR19 1AH on 31/03/10 and is being progressed through our network for delivery.


My letter is addressed to the DVLA and of course they will be shut over good fri,sat,sun and bank hol monday so expect it to be delivered today so will keep checking the tracking site.

the tracking system isnt giving me much hope so not sure what to do? would it be woth me callign the DVLA and seeing if they got my letter or wait a couple of days?


thanks

DVLA will probably get bulk (a lot of) recorded every day so I would check on the system around 6pm every day.

My advice would be not to call the DVLA for a few days to give the letter a chance to go through their system.

Recorded BTW are treated the same as a normal letter in how they progress through the RM system and they are not tracked through the entire system. If you sent it 1st class normal delivery is 1 day but allow 3 working days. If you sent it 2nd class it could 3 to 5 days. The biggest difference with recorded is only that they should be signed for at the point of delivery.

My concerns are that what if dvla turn around and tell me they cant see my v62 application on thier systems? i cant wait the 10 workings days for this letter to get back to me as thats almost another 3 weeks of waiting ontop of the 4 weeks wait for my new logbook.

also where do i stand with the postal order i sent, i still have the reciept so can i claim my money back on that?

Phoned dvla and they checked the royal mail tracking number and its still not delivered, will give it till monday then i will take the v62 form up to my local dvla office and get it sent from there, that way i know im safe, cant be trusting the royal mail again!!

Yes if you have the receipt and the Postal Orders have not been cancelled/cashed. BTW hope you crossed them like a cheque so that they can't be cashed by just anyone.
