Parcelforce

Bought something off ebay last week, and the seller sent it yesterday (Wednesday) by Parcelforce 24 guaranteed next day. I stayed in all day today for it, and the !!!!!!! hasn't turned up!

The online tracker says it's been "on route to hub" since 4pm yesterday. I think "on route to hub" must mean "thieved by Royal Mail workers".

    Have you thought of calling them?

    It may be that the tracker hasn't been updated?
    Gone ... or have I?

    It does seem that a lot of people claim to send next day and just send standard so I'd call them to determine what's going on and if it's a next day parcel and has been paid for as such, be asking why it's not already there.
    After posting about receiving an email to my MSE username/email from 'Money Expert' (note the use of ' '), I am now unable to post on MSE. Such is life.

    No no no, that's far too sensible. Much better to label Royal Mail workers as thieves.

    if he missed parcel forces deadline at the post office, mine is 2pm then it will not have gone until the next working day. so he most liekly did post it then but it will be today it turns up.
    Nice to save.
