Royal mail Non-Delivery

It's rare for parcels to be genuinely lost by Royal Mail however they can on occasions be delayed by:

• Mis-routing in the delivery network or...
• Incomplete delivery addresses or...
• The most common reason for non delivery of parcels sent via Royal Mail is that they are too large for a standard letterbox and have been taken back to the local Royal Mail Delivery Office or Enquiry Office.
• CARDS ARE NOT ALWAYS LEFT!!!!!!
• All items also have our returns address

Postmen and women may also leave parcels with neighbours, behind bins or in outhouses etc.

If they are unable to deliver your postman or woman will normally leave a 'sorry you were out' card however these can easily be lost or misplaced or not left!. The card explains that Royal Mail were unable to deliver, and tells you how to arrange redelivery or collection.
