I have a problem in that I do not understand why a package being sent from Heathrow to Tenerife would be tracked as being on a flight to Madrid Airport and then returned to Greenford Mail Centre.

Date Time Status Track point
11/07/16 23:59 ARRIVED AT GREENFORD MAIL CENTRE GREENFORD MAIL CENTRE
08/07/16 1:00 ON ITS WAY TO BARAJAS SPAIN SPAIN AND CANARY ISLANDS
08/07/16 4:21 ARRIVED (MDN) AT HEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC
07/07/16 21:20 ON ITS WAY TOHEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC EXETER MAIL CENTRE
07/07/16 20:57 ITEM COLLECTED EXETER MAIL CENTRE

Does anyone have any idea why the might be? The senders say it is probably being returned to them. The package was small and contained RAM for a computer.

Yes, probably being returned and some scans seems to have be not done overseas.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Can anyone let me know why a parcel sent from Spain to the UK would end up at the Greenford Mail Centre?

Every parcel that I have ever recieved from abroad has always gonre through Heathrow on to Bristol and then Yate

It's odd as eBay tracking says that it has been sent via NL Tracking which I am guessing is Netherlands Post?

It is only a model car that cost 15.00 Euros which is about £12.71
