"Item Collected"

Post by RandomCustomer1356 »

Hi there, I have a piece of mail which I think is on its way to me but I'm a little confused, when I track the mail it says the following:

02/09/15 20:08 ITEM COLLECTED MEDWAY MAIL CENTRE

Does that mean they think the item is in my possession? Or that my local post office has collected it from the Medway mail centre? Kinda panicing because the delivery item wasn't cheap...

It means it's at the Mail Centre,due to be sorted to be then sent to the office where the delivery address is.
Nothing to panic about.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
