Does anyone know what might have happened here? It's an international parcel that has (as far as I know) cleared customs.

It's scheduled to be delivered to CB2 and has been in the South Midlands mail centre for three days with no updates. Went to the local DO and here's the latest tracking update they have on their system: "Wed 8 Apr, 2026, 8:47AM, Accepted at outward mail centre - automation. Container ID: YT00624855GB South Midlands MC"

It's a personal item, hence I can't get a refund/replacement if lost.

Many thanks 🙏

Update: parcel showed up at Leicester PFW Depot after almost 6 days. Seems like there’s been some kind of confusion resulting from the RM/PF merger.

I had to use Google AI to get a somewhat decent reply, so don't take it as gospel, but it said -

Current Delay Status
Your parcel is currently experiencing a delay due to a significant processing backlog at this specific hub. As of today, Sunday, 12 April 2026, the following factors are affecting its movement:
Documented Backlog: Royal Mail officially reported on 8 April 2026 that the South Midlands Mail Centre was unable to process all mail to schedule. This has caused a ripple effect for mail in the CV, LE, MK, and NN postcode areas.
