Post by guidino77 »

Good morning , i'm writing as a receiver.

Basically my friend sent me a parcel from Uk to Italy with service International Tracked and Signed for , the address put on the envelope and also on the receipt are 100% correct , but once he post it happened a strange thing , cause the parcel went to Germany so the wrong country.

Actually my tracking is not updating since the 4th of September and sincerly i don't know what i've to think and if i ever get my parcel or consider it lost somewhere....

This is the log of the trackig :

04/09/15 AM ON ITS WAY TOGLS GERMANY GERMANY
03/09/15 19:32 ON ITS WAY TOHEATHROW WORLDWIDE DC WARRINGTON MAIL CENTRE
03/09/15 19:04 ITEM COLLECTED WARRINGTON MAIL CENTRE
03/09/15 16:35 SENT AT POST OFFICE 286 Higher Lane WA13 0RW

Can i do something or contact anyone ?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Tnx.

It's correct, GLS have their central sorting hub in Germany which all parcels they handle from the UK go through

So it's normal that pass from Germany to Italy ?
Cause the other parcel i've got from Uk before comes directly to Italy , in around a week and i've never seen from the tracking that they go to Germany.

Is it a new routing way so ?

In any case hope to get soon my parcel so finger crossed for me :)

It depends which service was used.
