Urgent Assistance - Is It Possible to Stop a Parcel Force Special Delivery

Lorian

One other thought - when and where did you send it?

If it was from a post office later on, on Saturday there may be a slim chance its still there. Not that it would be easy to retrieve it.

What does tracking say for it at the moment?

Thanks for all your support.

I’m hoping and praying that Parcel Force can cancel the shipment in the morning.

Going to go the post office first thing in the morning.

Hopefully, it’s still there, but I doubt it.

Lorian

Good luck.

Unfortunately, Paypal is available to speak to until the morning. But I will be touch at the crack of dawn.

Would the above suggest the laptop is still in London? Or would you say its left the country by now?

Thanks again for all your support

Strange it would say royal mail tracked returns 48 - are you sure that its the right receipt/tracking number?

If it is the right one then I think it's highly unlikely you can intercept it in the UK now.

Also, a few more questions to try and help

1) go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and check to make sure your email address/password is not compromised

2) Who is your email provider?

3) Are you using the outlook mail client?

4) Was the email telling you about payment sent directly to your email address?

It would be wise to change your passwords at Ebay, Paypal and on your mail account anyway, making sure not to use the same password on any of them.

Also if you are using Microsoft' office 365 mail please check in the web version of outlook to make sure you have no malicious mail rules set up.

Hi Lorian,

That is the correct tracking number.

My email provider is siteground.co.uk

I'm using Outlook mail client

Yes, it was sent directly to my email address.

All passwords have now been changed.

Intercepting the laptop is one thing, but it has been suggested here that even if I intercept it, Parcel Force won't stop the shipment.

They open at 7am in the morning.

I'm thinking of getting there for 6:30, but I'm not sure what I can do even if I'm there if they won't stop the delivery?
