I could find out myself but I'd rather drag the conversation for gingerferret Interesting question, glad you asked. Over 25 years in the making we’ve a long history as part of the Royal Mail Group, but in 1986 Royal Mail created a separate parcel function forming the foundations of the business we know today. In 1990 Royal Mail Parcels was rebranded to Parcelforce, along with a massive investment in IT and infrastructure with the introduction of online tracking and the construction our National and International sorting hubs. Then in 1998 the business was rebranded to Parcelforce Worldwide. The last decade has seen us move into the express parcels market with further investment in technology which enables us to provide our exceptional quality of service. In 2013 we continued investing in the future of our business, enabling us to further enhance our network with 12 new and improved depots. Along with building a brand new processing centre in the North West with industry leading technology; ensuring that we can continue to handle your parcels with greater speed and precision, so we are best placed to meet the rapid growth in demand within the express parcels market. But to answer your question, I don’t know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just received a Xmas card yesterday that was posted 12th December. It was only sent 6 miles away from my home. So almost a month to travel 6 miles, so fuck knows how long it will take to travel overseas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenixboy 13,355 Posted January 5, 2023 my parcel from Moldova arrived in the uk on 28/11 and was delivered on the 28/12. parcels rarely get lost, but sometimes you just got to wait it out..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanGo 2,441 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) I am wondering when this mess will end and when the delivery times will be the same ? @Rokerite, have you written a complaint for an overdue product due to Royal mail's fault? Packages from Moldova usually took 3 to 8 days to reach England. Nothing has changed here in terms of shipping logistics.... I don't remember sending you anything in November , dear @Phoenixboy Edited January 5, 2023 by TanGo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allez 24 Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks to you both @deju @Rokerite I hope it is going forward ..thought same, maybe just the tracking is stucked but parcel is on the way to Germany.. *fingerscrossed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FudgyDocker 3,497 Posted January 5, 2023 New stuff appears to be getting delivered in the proper timescales. I received a Special Delivery next day, and I sent a Tracked 24 that arrived next day just this week. However, it's the backlog in mail centres that appears to be going nowhere. If you're unlucky enough to have stuff in that maelstrom, it's just a case of waiting it out, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're unlucky enough to have stuff in that maelstrom, it's just a case of waiting it out, I think.Royal Mail managers instruct the posties to prioritise the special deliveries etc, but standard tracked and international inbound stuff seems to be more of a problem, and has been backed up at Langley Hwdc.Seems to be filtering through now though.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allez 24 Posted January 7, 2023 [mention=20547]allez[/mention] how was it sent? (Pm me the tracking) I had things sent out next day 13/14th that took over a week to arrive. Stuck at “accepted at post office” right up to the day it was delivered. It seems that its moving I checked every day and today I see: "Your item is now leaving the UK. More information will be available when it arrives in the destination country." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APjumbo 3,031 Posted February 1, 2023 I have never shipped from Canada to the UK. Trying to find out if there is high risk. From what I’ve read it seems to be straightforward as usual, no more than two watches per package and mark as low value. Is this still the case?
