Default Parcel sent from England on 21st Mar first class on Royal Mail Airsure, where is it?

Title says it all really, it is tracked til it leaves UK, for a couple of days it says it has been passed over to France for overseas delivery.

It was sent Mon 21st, and should have arrived today, Thurs 24th, but didnt.

I live in an apartment upstairs but the buzzer did not buzz, and I do not have any slip in my mailbox.
What is going on?

It contains my medicine which I can't get in France so is quite important.

Tomorrow or Monday is my guess considering it was sent monday, La Poste are pretty consistent with carding folk for parcels more so in towns. Projected delivery times on websites and such like are rarely bang on unless you get a next day from Amazon.fr

Coincidentally we received yesterday 26th a parcel via the same system.
It was postmarked 18th March in UK.
It seemed a very very slow service but it was only a CD and not as urgent as medicine.

Can you get them to send it just regular 1st class next time??

We run a business here and plain 1st class post between the UK and here normally takes 2-3 days but anything registered or insured takes around 7 - 10 days! Not worth the extra money in my opinion when it takes 2-3 times as long.....

It does seem a bit slow at the moment - I've had a few things shipped over and its taken a good week each time. Letters are OK but parcels seem to take that bit longer
