Not receiving my parcels

Hi guys
A really genuinely odd one
I have purchased in the last 10-15 days 20 different eBay items from all various sellers. As of yesterday's mail I have only received 3 out the 20 of them

My first though was my address details which I have checked triple checked. My oh works for Royal Mail so he has been down to the sorting office for a good look and nothing

I have called Royal Mail customer services who just said it was odd and if they don't arrive in next few days to put in a complaint

The are all from different eBay sellers so it's not like they haven't sent them and most of them now are 2 weeks old

Any thought ideas? I'm genuinely stumped
Happy days

  • Assuming they've not been delayed elsewhere and the sellers aren't dispatching the items far later than you think, which seems unlikely for so many items, my guess would be someone stealing them. Hopefully that's not the case. Only thing I can think of, but maybe someone else has some other ideas.

  • I am assuming as you said parcels that they would be too big to fit through the letterbox so

    Are you at home when the post arrives, would the postman be leaving them at the door or

    Do you live in an apartment block where the post is left in a communal hall
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)

    Hopefully you will resolve your issues before ordering more items and leaving sellers out of pocket for the missing items.

    I am not ordering anymore items. don't worry, I usually get my pet medicine from animed and too scared to order as I completely agree it isn't fair on the sellers. so Ive had to go to the local vets for my medicine and pay over the odds.

    the parcels are all various sizes some would fit through the letterbox, some wouldn't. Ive lived at this address in a small clud de sac for a few years no problems. the postie usually left items with the neighbours and would also leave a red card
    Happy days

    Yes, I think there might be a sorting office share between them or something...
    I kicked up to the RM Customer Service online, like talking to robots, waste of time.

    I know it was earlier this year but this sort of thing is not uncommon..

    Some of mine turned up, in a bunch, like 5 weeks later or something, very strange. Others never did.

    Yes, looks like Warrington and Liverpool share a distribution centre... something's definitely been up last year or so..
