!my two parcels stuck in Langley for over 2 months

Post by Felicia Qi »

My two parcels from China, already arrived in Langley and stuck in there over two months.

The tracking of EMS shows that item1: LB000264395CN arrived at Langley on 29-12-2020 19:39:00; item2: LB000264400CN arrived at Langley on 29-12-2020 19:39:00. However, I didn't hear anything from Royal Mail and custom. What's happening ??

Even the other two parcels sent from China at the same time, I have already received them at January 2021 already.

NO ONE CALL ME, NO ONE CAN BE CONTACTED!!

According to that those tracking numbers we have not recieved it yet, you have to contact the seller.
We may have it and because of the volume of mail and Corona ect it may not have been scanned our end.
Either way it's a lost item now, and it is now down to the seller.
Sorry

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It's probably a customs thing again as per all the other Langley queries, it's out of our hands I''m afraid.

It's stuck in custom clearance step, and I already told this through the cal with the officer in custom, they said them should be in the back-lock within the warehouse. Is there has any way to locate them? Are them in the warehouse or not?

The custom got a free hands, nobody check them? Their work? What they doing or not? Too much what they doing, its not fair. No contact, nothing. We are not a dog.
I understand if the items late 1 or 2 weeks bc of this crisis, but need to tell something..

No one said that, I know it is pretty a lot of work, it can be understood. However, it is just been way too long. I'm just asking is there has any possibility that you can find out about what is happening. There has no reason to overreact. No offence intended.

Customs delays were and are being caused by:

1. Pressure placed on staff due to BREXIT, dramatically increasing work load.
2. The pandemic creating staff shortages and in some situations parcels being retained due to government instruction from certain countries.
3. Changes in regards how VAT is levied on imports after 1 Jan 2021.

HOWEVER......It is disappointing that there is no official statement from HMRC regarding what is happening (or will be happening) with the 2 month backlog of parcels that are being held in storage. When is the backlog likely to be completely cleared?

It is understandable that this is causing distress for some people, as these packages may contain personal property which cannot be replaced.

Sorry about the situation I know it is frustrating, but we also can not help you anymore on here.
Good luck.

Also, how did you manage to speak to customs, have you the link Royal Mail sent you?
