Royal Mail problems
Could anyone outside of the UK who has sent me anything in the last 3 months, and who has not heard from me that I've received whatever it was they sent, please let me know dates of sending (if possible) please?

For some reason, I am having problems receiving stuff sent to me from abroad, particularly (it seems) from the USA. Today, I found out about another item that was sent to me and which should have arrived by now, but hasn't. I'm going to try to raise this with Royal Mail here in the UK (not that it will do any good, but you never know!)

The only reason I have some items is because I asked that they be sent to a US address for collection whilst I was at the Philly Show...
I trust implicitly the people who have sent me stuff - it's not their (or, indeed, your if you are reading this) fault.

Au Res.,
Paul

I'm also waiting for stuff from the USA so you are not alone, perhaps there is a hold up somewhere.

Possibly, Wolfie, but if so, then it's not affecting everything - postcards I posted whilst I was in the US arrived last week.
PSC's I commissioned way back in May/June have not (and the senders HAVE sent them).

Ah, that is a long time then. I can tell you that the post office over here will not be able to do anything. The onus is on the sender and that countries postal service.

I have to agree with Wolfie. Unless they were sent by a registered or other tracked method then the Royal Mail wont be able to offer you any assistance. All you can do is wait and hope. Sadly, if they went out in May/June and haven't arrived yet then the odds are they are gone forever Frown The original sender can possibly claim compensation for the lost item, but I have no idea what schemes exist outside the UK. I had a sketch sent out earlier this year from the States that never arrived and. like you, I am absolutely certain that the card was sent.
