Re-delivery didn't arrive - do they just attempt again next working day?

Options
We had a card through the door from Royal Mail last week. Parcel was too big for letterbox. I immediately ordered a re-delivery for yesterday and stayed in all day waiting. It never arrived.

So do they simply re-attempt on the next delivery day or give up and wait for customer to contact them?

    did you book the re delivery via phone or online ? Ive had a failed re delivery via online and when i went to pick it up i was told the manager doesn't check his emails so i always phone now.they wont try to deliver again you will have to either re arrange or pick it up from the sorting office.

    Best to collect it yourself from the sorting office, especially at this time of the year.

    It was booked online. I hope I still have the card - at this time of year there's a lot of paper about and it might've got chucked.

    I know it is Christmas but I'm not impressed. Typical RM.

    well its a poor manager
    redeliveries aren't emailed
    they update on the CLEO system and should be checked and actioned every day with a resolution for each request.
    the CLEO system also includes the complaints framework so it should be part of a managers daily checks anyway.
