Hi all,

I sent off a very important document yesterday, Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm. When I go to track it VE247791625GB, it says

In Transit
Tracking no. VE247791625GB

Your item is due to leave London Central Mail Centre to go to Chelmsford Mail Centre. More information will be available as it travels through our network.

It doesn't look like its been updated since 6pm last night. Starting to worry as it is a really important original. Does anyone know what is likely to have happened to it?

Thank you!

call Royal Mail - for some strange reason, it's bouncing between Chelmsford MC ad Harlow Delivery Office. https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-it ... 47791625GB" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Could be a problem with the address so call them as quickly as possible.

Actually for some reason London look to have tried to dispatch straight to a DO they do not cover, it only made one trip to Harlow from the tracking. Looks to have been safely delivered yesterday.

As for the delay, PRDC on Monday was by all accounts receiving much more work than expected resulting in late vehicle movements, bulking out vehicles and the resulting failure to meet processing timeframes at inward MCs. Get your claim form in and recover the cost of that Special Delivery postage!
