Stuck at "Item Despatched to Heathrow Worldwide DC"

Post by thewhi »

Hi guys,


My seller sent a parcel ( 2 piece linen suit / clothing ) to South Korea on SEP 14

by international tracked and signed service.


However, the status hasn't been updated since then, the last status is as below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday 14 September 2021 20:06 Item Despatched to Heathrow Worldwide DC

Home Counties North MC

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

is the parcel still in UK? I am not sure what is going on.

any suggestions please? or maybe the status is normal?


many thanks,

It hasn't been that long, so it could just be Covid delays at this stage.

The bigger problem is that "Textiles and textile articles" are prohibited by South Korean customs:
