Most big companies give tracking numbers these days especially if you buy on line, amazon and argos certainly do

worse

critical appointments for hospital have never arrived infact it got so bad the hospital has put on its records that appointments have to be made by phone for me.

after watching what happens to our mail on watchdog the other year its a wonder anything gets to us

out of 10 birthday cards sent each with a £10 note inside only two arrived at their desitination intact ,3 arrived with the money removed and the rest didnt turn up at all

then there was the trollys full of mail left abandoned by the temp staff under bridges ,in town center carparks and variousl other places infact they filmed one location which was a regular dumping site for peoples mail including bank statements etc

if i send anything it goes recorded delivery because if it feels expensive they will have it away or if they are feeling underpaid in a temporary position they will just dump it

obviously i am not refering to all post men theres good and bad in everything but its just not worth teh risk sending anything of value non recorded delivery.

Quite a few years ago there was one lad sacked from been a post man in accy because he cashed all the benefit giros he was supposed to deliver .How he cashed so many beggars belief lol

yep dont know if its a ploy from royal mail but 50% of my post thats not recorded has gone missing they must know somethings going on ive filled so many claim forms spoke to so many royal mail representives . i sent 16 parcels 2 weeks ago and only 8 reached their destination.cant remember this happening so frequently when it was more nationalised..

I'm still waiting for a cd ordered from Play.com on 11/11, apparently posted on 13/11, Play won't investigate it until 15 working days after posting date but it's obviously gone awol.

im currently experiencing the same issue with play.com

read around you will soon see its a cowboy outfit and are probably lying about depsatching it

based in jersey or something for a reason

some items have arrived from play.com but they also use sub sellers ar whatever they call them and you are at their mercey as to if they postteh item.Two of my sons birthday presents came 2 weeks late despite saying despatched but the post date said a different story

The reason for that is VAT avoidance, a little loophole that I believe is about to be closed down.

A lot of stuff i order from Amazon comes via Jersey too, although to date i havn't had a single problem with anything i've ordered from them, always received the goods as described, and on time....in fact in most cases earlier than stated!

Best Regards - Taggy

think it also makes it harder to get your money back if your ripped off.Unless you have credit card cover or something .

3 weeks wait so far for 1 item yet to get here.

its either a case of them lying about despatching it or its been nicked
