EFFING POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!, by jonpud on Jan 28, 2008 10:23:14 GMT 1, I recently commissioned two canvas' by Jef Aerosol, he posted them to me on 17th January from France, delivery should have taken up to 6 days, here I sit 11 days later and guess what!!!!! Not arrived!
They had a tracking number on the recorded delivery but the post office here and in France have no record of it!
I am amazed at the incompetence of the French / English post offices, I strongly suspect that the parcel has been stolen as I can't possibly imagine that either postal service could have 'lost' it!!
I realize that these can be 'replaced' but they were originals, and as such should not be in circulatin!
Jef as you can imagine has been superb about this and I am gutted that he has to deal with this while being so busy preparing for his up coming exhibition.
Does anyone have a number or contact details of anyone in the postal service that might be able to help? I am fed up with talking to automated machines and getting nowhere! Thanks in advance for your help / advice!

EFFING POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!, by bullet on Jan 28, 2008 10:25:06 GMT 1, The French postal service is extremely slow and lazy, i have ordered things from France before and it has taken ages.

Generally Royal Mail is pretty good at stuff with tracking receipts. When Jef posted my piece it took around 14 days to arrive, but it was worth it. It also depends on the size as well.
Sorry to anyone that is from france on here (cover your ears jef) but your postal service is run by morons.

I am pretty patient Pez about most things, but when it comes to art I am like a kid waiting for Christmas! I know it's 'only' been 11 days but no record of tracking number seems really strange?

I hear you mate. Every day when the package doesn't turn up feels like a personal insult from the postman.

EFFING POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!, by Guest on Jan 29, 2008 1:37:30 GMT 1, Hey Pud, I just waited 2 months for a piece to arrive from the U.S
I kept calling royal mail trying to get info, came to the conclusion that they had lost it, then found out that parcel force had it in one of their central depots!
May be worth checking who will be handling your delivery in the U.K

EFFING POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!, by Gallery Grace on Jan 29, 2008 1:59:52 GMT 1, Royal mail isnโt the best, Iโve known next day special delivery to take up to five days. Last year I sent a print to Canada and what should have taken week max took nearly a month.
Hang on just because you have no tracking it doesnโt mean it wont arrive it may just take a little longer
Good luck though

EFFING POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!, by jonpud on Jan 29, 2008 9:37:21 GMT 1, YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!! Arrived just this minute!! Thought I would look an arse!!
What is the point of a tracking number if you can't track where your parcel is? Thought the barcode was scanned at particular points of the journey!
I wouldn't say my faith is restored, but releived is an under statement!!
