There's a huge delay on imports atm-I waited about 3 weeks for a parcel from Holland and I think stuff round the country has variable delays depending on how each delivery office or hub is coping. Probably just sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting for backlogs to clear...

It was the Parcelforce person saying it hadn’t been handed to them by Royal Mail (or something) that confuses me. It sounded like it had wandered its way into the RM system, but when I asked if that meant it might just be delivered by RM, they said I should make a claim!
Edit: ha! The seller has been on to Parcelforce who said there are massive delays at the depot and the parcel has just left today. Tracking update. Phew! And fair play to the seller who has been super helpful so far.

I ended up selling them on to someone else (with full disclosure of their issues this time!), so it's a pain in someone elses flange now :-)
Another issue:
I've bought a frame, the guy's posted it via parcel force and has sent me the proof of postage with tracking number. The number shows as having been collected by PF and there it has lingered for 10 days. I've had an only semi-helpful exchange with parcel force's Twitter person who said something about it having been possibly given to a royal mail driver instead.
Anyone had anything like this before? They didn't go so far as saying what might happen now and i got a bit bored of trying to tease information out of them one sentence at a time
