Co-op / Post Office Cheque

Hi all,
I paid in a cheque to my Co-op cashminder account via submitting it to the post office with paying in slip and envelope last Friday 13th April and it's still not appearing on my online banking.:mad: I got a receipt from the post office, but I'm concerned that it's gone missing. I know before I even contact the Post Office that they will say that I should 'wait a bit longer' or 'we don't have an audit trail, we just post them' and Co-op will say that they havent processed it yet. (The joys of the two worst customer services trying to work together:T)
Should I try and have the cheque re-issued and try and get to a Co-Op branch (24 miles away!!) to deposit it or should I wait another week? What's the turn-around time been for others?
As soon as I gave it to the woman at the post office, I walked away feeling that it wouldn't go smoothly. Must be instinct:cool:!

Hi there,
I use the Co-Op Cheque Deposit service quite regularly, and recently I have noticed that the processing seems to take a ridiculously long time. I have found usually that the processing time can take roughly up to five days (to show on your account.) Technically, this means that the deposit should be appearing now. However, I have also found that my Post Office seems to send off deposits made on Friday on the following Monday.
Personally, I would wait until Monday or Tuesday before chasing it up, but if I am honest, it does seem to be taking longer than usual, so your only option may be to have the cheque reissued.0 -
I've aways found it quickest to post the cheque to the Co-op. I post it to my local branch rather than their cheque clearance centre.0
