Parcel "being made ready for dispatch" for 12 days

Post by brenigan »

Hello everyone!
My name is Vlad, I am from Russia and I am waiting for a very important parcel from the UK.
I have my parcel sent by International Signed mail and I have a tracking number. When I use it here
It says :
Status: It's on its way
Your item, posted on 21/07/15 with reference RU**********GB has been received at our international mail centre and is being made ready for despatch overseas.
So I've been emailing with the support, they seem to be very amicable and they said that:
Thank you for your email about an item of mail you are expecting from the UK. I am sorry to hear that your item has not yet arrived and hope you will accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Items sent via our International Signed service are usually tracked up to the point where they are dispatched from the UK but this does not appear to have happened on this occasion. As a result, I regret that I am unable to confirm the current whereabouts of your item and hope you will accept my apologies for any concern this may cause you.
Does that mean my parcel's totally lost? Or maybe it is a common thing that happens from time to time?
Maybe you guys have come across similar situations or maybe you've experienced them yourselves...
I had a lot of parcels from UK but it is my 1st registered one so I am kind of nervous, because it's been like 12 or 13 days since it stuck somewhere ...

Try this unofficial Russian based tracking site - it may show details when it arrives in Russia. http://trackitonline.ru/?service=track" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

No guarantees though.

Thats an internal status - nothing to worry about.
