Does anyone work for the post office?

 

Got a card through the letter box today for I think two parcels, now the guy thats filled it in has cunningly not said which item number is for which type of packet (as there is a special delviery and a recorded signed for. Both are the asme format, BUT they are slightly different in text and colour.

 

So:

ZJ 4969 0366 3GB has a blue half circle bit at the right side of the sticker (I think tahts special delivery as its blue??)

 

CZ 6475 8618 2GB has a black tab at the right side of the sticker which has radius corners but is more rectangular than the other one, think this is signed for.

 

I need to know to fill in the website as ive got one card for two packets but dont know which number is for which packet!...

 

 

If they would just knock on the door and wait 15 seconds life would be so much easier! Quite a big house and it takes time to get to the front door!

To use the Royal Mail website tracking tool you need to remove the spaces between the number. However, that will just say that the postie tried to deliver the parcel(s) at a specific time on a specific date - nothing more.

 

Other than that, Special Delivery items have a blue semi-circle at the end of a white label. Recorded Delivery also have a blue semi-circle but it's at the end of a cream/yellow label.

 

Best thing to do is to take the "while you were out" card to your local post depot (address should be on the card) unless it CLEARLY states that the parcels were taken to your local post office (not likely to be the case).

 

On occassion I've had up to 6 different stickers on one card and the chaps at the post depot sorted them all out without any problem. Just remember to take some form of ID with you that clearly states your postal address.

 

HTH

Problem is its not gone to my "Local depot" which is 5 miles away, its gone back to bloody preston for some reason which is 25 miles away! Of course they only open for about 15 minutes each day so its a bit difficult, ive submitted the details to the post office website so i'll see if they turn up on thursday as they say they will!

LOL! Royal Mail is just about as predictable as Nissan! ;) Hope the parcels turn up soon.
