I'll put this here as I feel parcel deliveries cause a lot of hannoyance on Rawk
I've got something being shipped to my Mums in Liverpool, from Londonderry, via Parcelforce 'express 24' - does that actually mean 24 hour delivery? I'm very sceptical of this, the thing isn't showing any tracking updates yet. The fact it has to cross the Irish Sea doesn't help
Yes, its a next day service so she should get it when they say. The Parcelforce tracking service is pretty crap, it might even say on it there's no info until there's been an attempt to deliver it? (I've seen that recently when tracking a parcel coming to me).
They'll have loaded a trailer onto the ferry in Belfast, as soon as its been unloaded, which is quick, they'll send a unit to go get the trailer, he's likely to be dropping a trailer going the other way, then take that to the RDC they use.
