Ok, I know the Royal Mail is playing silly buggers at the moment, and I assume that the returned mail I got today is part of all this.

I sent a letter by Recorded Delivery over four weeks ago and it has only just been returned. It has a little red sticker on the front (dated 15/8) saying:

"We were unable to deliver this item because:"

And a box saying:

"Not called for"

has been ticked. What does this mean "Not called for"? :confused:

Also, I am expecting a small package containing brake pipes I won off Ebay sent about two weeks ago at least. The seller informed me when he sent them and confirmed they had been sent when I queried the delivery. He reckons he has had a number of packages not turn up.

Is the mail that bad at the moment, or should I worry that my parcel hasn't turned up?

:(

well it applies to the item not being collected from the delivery office.
so it went out on delivery,could not be signed for and a red card left.
recordeds are kept at the DO for 7 days then returned. it maybe with the strikes the office gave people longer to collect their items(we did this in our office) so they may have given them a bit longer.
then its returned but returned items take less priority over mail going to its 1st delivery

I guess so, but its one of two items.
I imported some trucks from Florida, they came quicker than the bearings i ordered the same night which was 2 weeks ago! :( im still waiting for them.
Hopefully its my new helmet and oakley goggles here today :D or the bearings (y) :rolleyes:
 
if we were part of the developed world i could understand the fustration, but lets be honest, its a miracle we have running water and electricity, be grateful.
