Hi folks,

Sent a mechanical watch to my mate in Germany (no batteries or anything). Sent last Friday but doesn't seem to have made it to Heathrow with it being sent tracked and signed. Tracking number doesn't show on the German system.
RN254365565GB

Friday 01 February
Your item is due to leave London Central Mail Centre to go to Heathrow Worldwide Distribution Centre. More information will be available as it travels through our network.

Had nothing since then, anyone have any ideas?

Judging by posts on here, watches often seem to get extra checking before despatch. Presumably because many have batteries in them.

I've been in in the same situation for the past 4 weeks. I contacted Royal Mail multiple times and they said that the item might have been incorrectly labelled as untracked mail while leaving the mail centre. I still haven't received any updates on my package and I'm going to file a claim come next Friday. Hope you get yours!
