HELP please I am really concerned about this :(

Hi, I’m new to this and don’t know how to start a thread so I’ll just attach my query to this if that’s okay?

*if not let me know and I will delete this*

General info:
I paid for a signed and tracked service to EU country.

So first of all on 1st of July I paid for a online label on the click & drop website.

On the 2nd of July I dropped my parcel off before the driver comes to collect the parcels.

The problem is on that day there was no further update on tracking. I knew something was wrong as usually on the same day of drop off the item get “revived at ..... mail centre” I then got cautious and thought let me wait it out for a day.

The next day comes and there’s still no update! That’s when I was alarmed that there are definitely some issues here. That’s because there are several scans after that mail centre on being arrival at Heathrow and then transferred to Gatwick.

Well guess what.... none of that happened.

I went to call the customer service and 1) they would pass the phone to someone else and I was just looping in circles. 2) I was told the scans have been missed. 3) we can’t do anything about it (ridiculous answer).

Okay so I waited and guess what till this day there has been 0 tracking after the post office acceptance.

Can anyone give me some advice on what to think as I genuinely believe either 1) the post office workers may have misplaced or stolen it.

2) the driver has taken the parcel for himself.

3) at the mail centre someone has taken the parcel or dropped it.

Please can someone help as I’m really concerned, thanks.

Without a tracking number, or any idea what service you used its difficult to advise, but if you think it has been stolen then you need to call Royal Mail and ask for the security desk.

If you went to the Post Office, the counter clerk should have given you a receipt with the barcode number. Have you got that? The relevant barcode is in the format AB123456789GB.

Hi,

The tracking still and at this current moment states “accepted at post office ..............”

From past experience shipping to EU countries it should be scanned at Mail Centre > Heathrow > Depart Heathrow or Gatwick.

Unfortunately it’s been 3-4 days and no update of tracking is there.

I hope it is an error and all is fine or the parcel is at least returned to me as there is a return label on there anyway.
