Carol.

Did they give you a tracking number for the item.

I have the ticket that the Post Office gave me (white & lemon in colour). There is a number at the top of that and also another number on my white receipt ticket. But that's the idea of paying extra for Recorded Delivery isn't it, so that they can track it if it gets lost?

Carol. I sent a parcel to Wales which took 3 weeks to arrive , as it was heavy the customes opened it to inspect before forwarding it,

I'm very happy to say the parcel has now arrived !!

Hi Carol,it does seem a long time, but there can be hold ups with customs and also you can only count working days not weekends and holidays. I would give it another week. I've had a few problems at the post office here and find it helps to write down as much info as possible in not very good spanish, but in spanish and also start by saying "es possible ayudarme" before trying to say what the problem is. There's a bit of customary shrugging at first, but it seems to start the being helpful attitude. Chris

Pleased your parcel arrived, had posted my comment before I saw your last one.

Hi Chris - it's lovely to see you posting up on the forum. Hope things are going well for you xxx
PS I've just noticed how you have signed yourself. Have you moved to La Marina or are you still at Santa Pola??????

My friend in Barcelona posted a letter recorded to UK..it took 2 weeks to get there!!!

Hi Carol, all's well thanks and I'm still in Santa Pola. Didn't notice I signed as being in La Marina, somehow it comes up in my gmail inbox and I just respond to that, I'll have to look around the site a bit more. I do pop into La Marina quite a bit - get my hair cut there, go to Iceland and do a couple of sessions of Zumba each week.
