A delivery was attempted in NATIONAL RETURN CENTRE

Post by dannycoelhoo »

Hello there,
I live in Portugal and I bought a Flash (with no battery) for my camera in a english shop. They sent my package and the track ID (RZ507293758GB) but a really weird thing happen:
It says that "A delivery was attempted for your item with reference RZ507293758GB in NATIONAL RETURN CENTRE before 15:05 on 24/11/17."

What?! :crazy:

When I see the earlier journey it never came out of England. Why National Return Centre?? :d'oh!


Thank you for all your help guys

That means it is believed to be dangerous or restricted / prohibited goods. Batteries aren't the only problem, it could also be glass that is insufficiently well packaged or that the item isn't allowed into Portugal via mail.

You need to claim your money back from the sender.
