We get 3 mins per parcel to deliver stuff, I typically knock at door/ring Bell, wait 30 seconds or so, ring the bell again then start writing the card, if theres no answer by the time I'm done I'll give a slip.

Think it depends on size of the office how long we write till you can pick stuff up, Crewe us 4 hours, Derby we put 48. Also if its been taken with the actual postman, not the driver it might of gone to a local office then have to be sent back to the main office hence the 48 hours.

At ours, the tracked all have to go by driver, so would of been taken back at the end of his shift to the main depot, so should be there for collection

How were they sent?

Parcel sent to me 19th December - not arrived.

Parcel sent to me 27th December - arrived.

Parcel sent to me 5th January - arrived.

Royal Fail :facepalm:

Round here Brett if the parcel/jiffy bag is too big for the postman's bag someone in a van comes round to deliver it in the morning.

Generally RM are OK around here, for example I had to return something to eBuyer and the ParcelForce guy came round at 7.30am this morning to collect it and they normally deliver at that time too. Wish service was like that everywhere TBH.

Happens all over mate, RM, TNT, DPD, Parcel Force. Just depends on what mood the last mile man or woman is in.

I always pop down the sorting office a few hours after the card was put through the door, only once have I had to go back the next day. My postman seems pretty good though, of it fits through the letter box he seems to sign it for me :lol:

Its RM Tracked, it won't be at a depo/central sorting office anymore. It will be waiting under some desk in a Royal Mail sorting/delivery office.

Never heard of needing to book a time to collect a parcel from RM.

its open til 5pm but dont know whether to risk it, thats the problem can't even ring them its just a national number which is all automated so might have the same tomorrow too, going on the 48hours i'd have to wait til 10am saturday! ridiculous

not sure where i got depot from, should be at sorting office now.

ive missed stuff from 7am in the morning and collected it from sorting office at 2pm.

Delivery office typically doesn't operate after 12pm. You could try ringing them first thing tomorrow to confirm the item is waiting for you.

Its tracked so it should be back at the sorting/delivery office already but if you live somewhere weirdo like Wales it might take up to 48 hours to get back? Educated guess.

tried ringing but its just all automated can't actually get through to the delivery office to check

Had a card through saying i need to wait 48 hours before collection, but the website says with the reference number
It is being held at Bridgend (CF) DO pending instructions from addressee.

Shall i risk the 10mile journey to get it, was 1000 this morning they tried to deliver it, surely it cant actually take two days to get back there
