Hi guys,

I ordered something that is supposed to be a present and delivery was delayed due to stock (even though I was assured I will get it on time as I'm leaving country for 3 months this Saturday morning). Seller only sent it today instead of yesterday as I can see on my tracking and item was received at South West RDC at 6:30pm today. They sent it by Royal Mail Tracked 24™ which says delivery should be next working day althoug I doubt it would come tomorrow as they sent it too late today. I really really need to get it before I leave on Saturday as I won't have a chance to get this present anywhere else and on time, I would even travel to Bristol (thats where South West RDC is) to pick it up tomorrow do you think it would be possible? If it's still there of course as I don't know if they will be only preparing it for delivery tomorrow or send it. I'm not sure if royal mail tracked 24 delivers on Saturday too as I could only find delivery next -working- day but even if so, our post usually comes in the afternoon so again I wouldn't be able to get it. I was thinking I could maybe contact delivery office in my town if I could come pick it up if it's there on Saturday morning before they give it to postman for delivery or something like that, if that how it's work anyway. Or I don't know, any advice what could I do please???

Many thanks!!!

Sorry, no way you can collect it, RDCs have literally millions of items so looking for one would be nigh impossible as its moving through the system in minutes.

However, seeing as its an RDC and a Tracked24 the chances are better than 80% you will get it today.
