You only usually get that status when the item has not yet entered Royal Mails system. Special Delivery items are scanned from entering RMs system all the way to delivery and whenever they change hands/offices. Its nearly impossible that it won't be scanned somewhere at sometime so the best guess is that CEX have marked it as dispatched, but it was to late to be collected by Royal Mail.

I'd ring CEX and get confirmation it has been sent, advising them that it's not showing on RMs track and trace.
