They've Lost My Frame!

[blackrat]

Just returning to this point. I wouldn't hesitate to use Royal Mail to deliver a parcel for me. It sounds like it's important stuff but time isn't an issue. Use "Recorded Delivery" or "Signed for Delivery." The two phrases refer to exactly the same service. If time isn't the issue you could use 2nd Class, its cheaper. Personally I would use "Next Day" Delivery - these get priority and have less time stuck in a warehouse to get lost.

Our local postman, we live in a very small village and know him well, delivers all the signed for packages first and then the regular mail.

All parcel companies have their issues. One, I forget which, once informed me by text "your parcel is out for delivery today." Great but that happened on ten consecutive days and tracking showed it in a warehouse 100 miles away.

Thanks, It'll be a biggish bag with my (mostly) travelling clothes and stuff sent to the hotel I'll be staying at in John O' Groats. I'll have ten days to reclaim it up there, so from your - and others' - comments, nothing to fret about. I cycle light, so the bike will carry just a largish saddle bag and handlebar bag enroute - plus me, of course.

I have messaged the person who has my frame so all four parties will soon be in contact and know what is going on.
Parcelforce need to realise that going back to the depot , the source of the confusion won't be of any help at all but to issue new labels with the correct addresses to the people who have the frames and arrange pick up.

Good news!
Parcelforce have picked up both frames. Mine was picked up first and was delivered to Woodrups in a day. The other frame was picked up the following day. I haven't heard from the other person to say that his arrived safely.

Both frames have reached their correct destination. Mine is about to make it's journey back home after it's repair.

London has roads?

Not in the City of London. There are streets, ways, alleys, avenues and every other kind of name for a thoroughfare, but not roads.

And walls... London Wall in particular. Oh yeah, and gates e.g. Cripplegate.

Goswell Road.

 

[postman]

So pleased for you.

Goswell Road.

That's not in the City though.
ie the square mile.

Wikipedia says part of it is in the City of London.

Does London even exist?

Yes if you look on Google maps at corner of Goswell road and Baltic street west, the last part Goswell road heading towards Barbican is defo inside the old Dragon which marks the city boundary.

That debunks that myth then.

My frame has finally arrived back home safely.
It was delivered about half an hour ago by Parcelforce.

Work done or just returned ?

Work done. A small dent by the drink bottle mount.
