unfortunately you can't stop it, sorry
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

The good thing is you will get a signiture that it has been deliviered and then could sue (small claim's court) the addresse of reciveing good's which have not been paid for ie STOLEN!.

OH, YES YOU CAN!...... AND I'VE DONE IT! :Very Happy

I contacted the D.O in London at 4 am and spoke directly to the dom.
The situation you are in is identical to what I have experienced.
I gave my name, pay number and location. I recited the S.D number on the package and the address and recipients name. :roll:
I left my mobile number with the dom and I was called back 2 hours later. The package was grounded in the D.O. and I recieved it back the next morning.The package I sent was worth £500.00 - a state of the art mobile phone.

I hope you are just as fortunate........ Good Luck on this one. Let us know how you go on.
All the best.

Short answer is, technically you can't but thats down to the 'no one can interfere with the mail except the secretary of state' but where a crime is being committed a DO might assist you if you explain what has happened. The office might help, customer services will probably read from a standard reply sheet.
