Customer Services have marked my email as spam

Post by wpqs »

I am in dispute with Customer Services as they are refusing to give me details of their complaint process. I now discover that my email address has been blocked as spam - i.e my emails returned Remote Server returned '550 5.7.520 Message blocked because it contains content identified as spam. AS(4810)'. Therefore I can no long communicate with them except by telephone which this morning had an hour's queue. This is an appalling way to treat customers. What can I do?

By way of background, I am trying to find a package sent to me in November by Track and Trace. The Track and Trace system is telling me that the package got delayed for 2 weeks at HWDC and then couldn't be delivered to my address in Malta as nobody was at home - not surprising as by this time I had returned to London. I obtained the same information from Malta Post. However, Customer Service has ignored this information and provided a variety of other excuses for non-delivery; three emails to date. They can't even tell me the location of my package at the moment - a key feature of Track and Trace, yes? Clearly the system is broken so it seems reasonable to ask for the matter to be escalated to Senior Management as a complaint.

What's the tracking number?

Was there a return address on the parcel somewhere?

Here’s the complaints process:

As for the tracking system, it does not and cannot tell you where a parcel is. It tells you where it has been, a subtle but important difference.
