Decided to treat myself to a replica 1986 La Vie Claire L/S top.
Ordered it on a Friday afternoon, dispatched a little later via Royal Mail Tracked service.
Unfortunately the postcode I had entered was wrong, the rest of the address was fine.
Checked the tracking information on Saturday, parcel is at the local delivery office(next door to where it is being delivered).
Nothing delivered Monday, nothing delivered Tuesday, tracking information unchanged.
Walk over to the local delivery centre to enquire what is going on.
They don't know, their tracking information states it was forwarded onto the delivery office in Faringdon, Oxfordshire on Saturday, the delivery address had Swindon, Wiltshire.
Had to call the delivery office in Faringdon, to find out they had looked at the address and realised the postcode was wrong and it should handled in Swindon, they returned it Monday morning.
On Thursday morning, I receive an email and a text from "Swindon Mail Office" than it will be delivered some time that day, tracking information updated stating the same.
Nothing arrives on Thursday, nothing arrives on Friday. On Saturday morning the tracking information is once again updated by "Swindon Mail Office" stating it was going to be delivered, again nothing.
On Monday, I went to the main delivery office and asked what was going on.
They had no idea where it was, even more confusing they stated "Swindon Mail Office", is the sorting office next door to the delivery office and it shouldn't be updating the tracking information.
Basically they were completely clueless and my only hope was that it would be returned to the sender.
Now have to wait until Friday, if sender hasn't received it they will send me another one, which is fair enough as it was my post code digit swapping that caused Royal Mail a problem.
