Parcel from UK
 
My daughter sent a registered parcel from the UK which should have arrived by now but hasn´t. I put the post office number in for tracing and it came back that it was not being dealt with by Spain. I then went to the Correos site and put in the same number and was told it didn´t exist or something like that. So any ideas how I can trace it?

Well if the Post Office state that it's not being dealt with by Spain (whatever that means), then it's hardly surprising the Correos know nothing about it.
Your daughter needs to visit the office where she posted the item and take it up with them. Her contact is with them. Presumably she has the receipt of postage etc.

we have had post to be signed for from UK some have take up to three weeks to get here, but yes I agree your daughter should go back to her post office and take it up with them. Let us know if it turns up:fingerscrossed:

I posted that all wrong, so sorry. We have had the levante and it obviously got to my brain! I meant to say that it is now in Spain, so the Post Office weren´t dealing with it.

sorry not laughing, well yes I am, it seems parcels slow down when they get to Spain, ours have and to be honest been known to get sent back to UK once. Hopefully sit tight it will arrive soon:thumbup:

I have always found it to be about 3-4 days.

Remember the 60's ??
Well just a reminder that they are closer to the First World War than to Now
No, you are wrong they were only yesterday, I know cos I was there!

oh girly (sri for the familiarity but it just seems right)
you have no idea of what you have missed, a period when music took another major step after the mixing of Jazz and Big Band.

so many iconic reasons for listening and living that are still around today
all morning have been making up a playlist off YouTube, people that started in the 60's and went on into the 70's and are yet still being played, hard, today.

currently listening to Santana but before that from the 80's Sade
some youngster said how amazing she sounds and didnt realise it was over 30years ago.
What the heck do these youngster think their parents and grandparents were listening to ? Handel???

and as my sisters parcel cost me almost £5 for less than 500g even postage was as cheap as chips in those days.
