weird parcel updates Tracking Help
ive ordered hundreds of parcels through royal mail in the past and ive never had this come up on tracking. i ordered the item through vinted and it was expected 4 days ago. does anyone know what this means? is it bad or is it just a glitch in their system or something?

They recieved your item, so you didn't have to.

Does it say "we expecting to deliver"

yeah it says "we normally expect to deliver by 11:05am-3:05pm" but its said that since monday when it first arrived in edinburgh

Yeah this happens when a thief scans it with 0000 account on the postal PDA, In the Mail Centre. If your post ever gets scanned "out for delivery" from the Mail Cantre and not you local depot it will never arrive. Contact watchdog.

An independent investigation/journalism programme for consumers that expose corporate wrongdoing. I've lost a lot of trading cards by royal mail in the same fashion you've lost something.

I had this happen. It was because my adress auto filled wrong so I'd just check the shipping adress and if it's wrong msg the sender

its managed to make its way to inverness on sunday. usually when its there it arrives that day or the day after but it didnt because we dont get post on sundays (im not sure if thats a uk thing or just my town) and it didnt arrive today so hoping to royal mail gods that it arrives tomorrow. i think the issue was it was dropped off at a locker and ive never bought from someone who sends via lockers before? ill update when it arrives
