Hello

Post by Emalva »

Hi
I've sent a few international parcels, standard, non tracked to Portugal on the 4th this month, today clearing the receipts from my wallet I realised the lady from the till instead of posting them all to Portugal, posted one of them to Nigeria (I'm certain it had big bold "Portugal" written on it). The other ones got through and arrived in Portugal early this week, but one of them hasn't.

I've been trying to contact the customer service via phone call without much success, any advice on what should I do next?

Thanks!

Royal Mail go by what is written on the parcel, not what the clerk entered into the computer. So it will not affect whether the parcel arrives, but it might make a claim more difficult.
