Parcel Delivery and Courier Services of the International

Has anyone had a Royal Mail Tracked 48 parcel get stuck at a mail centre with no updates? Mine was sent on Friday 6th March and the last update was: “Item received at Edinburgh Mail Centre – 12 March, 7:05am. In transit, will be sent to local delivery office.” Since then… absolutely nothing. No scans, no delivery attempt, and the expected delivery date has come and gone. Would be good to know if there’s still hope or if it’s actually gone for good 😅

More just a vent post than anything. I ordered my 1/7 Kindred Spirits Eugen back in September on sea mail. Unfortunately it arrived during the Christmas period (not making that mistake again), and with the UK postal service being how it is, it got returned to sender by no fault of my own. Parcelforce attempted many deliveries outside my redelivery window and ended up just shipping it back, despite me spending 8 hrs of my life on the phone with them trying to sort it all out. Anyways, by March this was all sorted and AmiAmi had refunded me the full amount. So. I ordered her again, thinking that now Christmas is over, it will arrive okay! Three, apparently, refused deliveries (two apparent...

Hey everyone, If it's your first time reading one of my posts, I break down the top logistics news from the past week so you're always up to date. Let's jump into it, # China's trade numbers just broke every record in the book If you thought U.S.-China tensions were cooling things down, think again. China posted a trade surplus of $213.62 billion in the combined January-February period, the highest on record. Economists had been expecting $179.6 billion. Exports grew 21.8% year-on-year, against a forecast of 7.1%. Even imports came in hot at 19.8% growth versus a 6.3% expectation. Some of that beat is explainable. Lunar New Year fell later this year, which flatters t...

Hi all, I'm an eBay seller and I recently sold an item to a buyer in Greece. Now I opted for Royal Mail's 'International Tracked & Signed' service, and within a week I'd had the parcel returned to me via my Postman (luckily I'd written my return address on the back). After doing a bit of research into the reasoning behind the non-delivery (which was more like a non-*attempt*), I realised that it was considered an 'Obsolete Product' (and given the code '07/03' handwritten on the returns label) and was not delivered because apparently recently RM decided to make their 'International Tracked & Signed' service only for p...

Ordered from AFS on March 4 because of the sale but item still had not arrived and it's already March 18. I live in Metro Manila. 🥲 Ordered again from AFS on March 13 because of payday sale. It arrived on March 15. There is a difference. Will this stil come to me? I tried to file for a refund but I don't have any update at all huhuhu

If youre in germany and preordered from the mynintendostore i would like to let you know that the delivery might get announced to you under a wrong company name (apparently due to stealing issues). We were informed of a shipment arriving from a company we have not ordered anything from, we arent even customers with them, and we dont wear contact lenses. So we denied the parcel and it turns out it was my partners pre-order bonus from the mynintendostore. The Email from the store itself containing the tracking number came way late so we were only able to compare them after it was too late. I have recieved my bonus a while ago and mine was not announced under a wrong name and I totally wa...

I ordered a CD on 2/28 and it still hasn’t arrived at the neokyo warehouse. When I checked the sellers profile on the official mercari japan website nothing came up. I have no clue what to do. I made sure to check the sellers reviews before I placed my order and they were all 5 stars.

Hi guys, I had ordered a small piece of tech from China, which was shipped by a Chinese company - YunExpress. My parcel was imported into London over a week ago, with tracking showing it's been cleared through customs and handed to local carrier (i.e Royal Mail). When I check my last mile tracking, it's been stuck on "We're expecting it", as it has been since I ordered my item, with no updates as of today. Do you have any idea where my parcel could be right now? Has it been lost, stuck in some sorting facility, or either YunExpress/Royal Mail are lying to me lol

May naka experience na ba ng ganito? At abo ang ginawa niyo? Context: madalas naman na sya ung rider na nagdedeliver sakin kaya tiwala ako. At minsan sinasabi ko sa kanya na ipasok nalang da gate ung parcel, small amount lang naman yung price like hundred. Tapos send ko nalang yung payment. Ang kaso iba ang nangyare ngayon. Wala sa loob ng gate yung item. Secured naman yun sakali kung i drop nya sa loob ng gate. Ito pa, yung proof of delivery, black lang at nasa kabilang brgy na sya naka locate at late din sya nag tag as delivered.

Choosing the right locker setup comes down to package volume and the types of deliveries a property receives. There’s no one perfect approach, but most successful systems are designed around peak delivery periods rather than average days. We've found this mix of locker sizes to work for most properties: * **\~70% medium lockers:** These handle the majority of everyday deliveries like boxes, padded envelopes, and small parcels. * **\~30% large lockers:** These accommodate oversized packages that won’t fit in standard compartments. The goal is to use space efficiently while accommodating a variety of packages, without ending up with a large number of underutilized compartments. Fo...

Hi guys, I am living in London and wanting to send a friend of mine a birthday gift which worth than £250 through Royal Mail parcel delivery. I have never sent anything across the pond so I am worried about a few things: 1. Is Royal Mail best option for me? 2. What the maximum claims if the parcel get lost? 3. I understand that with Royal Mails, senders have to pay PDDP upfront. What are pros and cons of this?

I sent out a package to someone using a label from Pirate Ship. It was originally a UPS label with local delivery being completed by USPS. To start, UPS didn’t even scan the label initially so to my customer it appeared as if it didn’t even move. Until I look up the USPS number and I see on 3/12 it was being held awaiting payment even though the label was obviously valid enough to make it through the UPS system. It said if payment was not received then it would become property of USPS and would not be delivered. I don’t know if this was a blip between UPS and USPS, a weight discrepancy, or something else. Pirate Ship told me they have been occasionally receiving reports of USPS incorre...

I ordered a parcel from Patna (via NimbusPost aggregator, shipped through eKart), and this has turned into one of the worst delivery experiences I’ve ever had. The parcel was supposed to be delivered on Friday (13th). From morning, I kept calling the delivery guy he was already rude on call. After multiple attempts, he finally picked up and said he would come at 8 PM. Instead, he showed up at 6 PM while my phone was on DND. I missed a few calls, but the moment I saw them, I literally ran outside. I could see him on my street. I called him and said, “I’m coming, just a second.” He CUT the call, took a U-turn, and left. Then he calls again, says “I’ll come at 8,” and cuts the...
