Default How to confirm medicals have been received?

Hi

Has anyone out there managed to get confirmation that their medicals have been received? Mine were posted directly by the panel doctor via Royal Mail 'International Signed For Delivery'.
When I check the status of delivery on their web site it just says 'package has been passed to international carrier'. When I phone Royal Mail they are unhelpful to say the least!

Any advice greatfully received.

Gavin

Not good news I am afraid.

Yes this is worrying me too - when I originally got my quote for medicals the quote price included 'courier fee'. When I attended my medicals I questioned what courier they use - the receptionist said oh we use the international signed for service as we are sending several at once!!? We have never had any problems! I am phoning receptionist back this am to give her my casefile no to put on meds and x-rays then she will be sending them - what do you think I should do? I feel if meds are lost during posting then this is the Dr's responsibility and the Dr should have to repeat them free of charge - is this so? Should I just organise a courier like DHL who I have already used several times? Not sure how to do that if DHL are to collect meds from Dr directly?

Personally I would insist that the medicals are sent via a traceable method (which Royal Mail "International Signed for isn't"). I can't see why you cannot pay the courirer and give them the doctors address to collect from if the doctors won't give you the medicals. Without this you won't have any proof if DIMIA say they haven't received them (and this seems to happen quite regularly, it happened to me for police checks)

If the doctors insist then I would get signed confirmation from them that if the medicals are lost (and cannot be located within a certain period or proved to have arrived at their destination) they will redo every part at no cost to yourselves.
