Today I Received.....

Doesn’t matter what is in the un delivered parcel, it may be that it was wrapped so that it wouldn’t fit through your letterbox 🤔

I'd agree but i was home at the time and do have a ring doorbell but nothing on it and no knocks at the time it said it was inaccessible.

In my experience, I find the 48 hour tracked no signature sometimes can take 3 to 4 days, with no way of knowing where it is until it arrives. . Been waiting for a coin myself that was posted Tuesday

Definitely Royal Mail running their own routine.🤣

Odd isn’t it

Royal Mail - Dysfunctional

Royal Mint - Dysfunctional

Royal Family - Dysfunctional

Labour Party - Dystopian … oops, wrong thread.

Nah it was actually just a 1oz silver coin so of lower value than the gold bar which is why i thought it was weird. The bar was signed for though and the coin is just tracked 48 so 2 different services which may still mean it was different posties. 

God knows, just RM doing RM things i suppose 😂

Must have been job and done. Only done half the round 🤣

No problem buddy, it wasn't that long ago the 2023 was released, according to my purchase history with Martin.

Is the item of a higher value than the delivered one?

I had two special deliveries due on the same day. One was for up to £750 compensation and was delivered by the postman on foot doing his round.

The other was delivered by a van outside my home and that was for up to £2500 compensation.

Both delivered on the same day.

Perhaps Royal Mail are not keen on the foot soldiers carrying a lot of potential valuables?

Had some thing similar before. The issue may have been that the different items were processed for delivery at different locations. At my place, Parcel force deliveries come from one depot, Standard and some special deliveries from the local sorting office and some of the special deliveries from a different depot again. I've had 3 deliveries from 3 different Royal Mail posties before now. Bonkers.

Ha yeah there was the random 2024 release of the 2023 Great Eastern coin in April. Looking forward to adding this 2024 one.....now I know it's out!

Just received my first TSF purchase, the tiny 1g 2 Diner gold coin from @NumisNewbie, through auction. Something different and quite rare. Perfect condition arrived quickly after some running around on his part. Very pleased, thank you @NumisNewbie

Great stuff Sy, we got there in the end. Enjoy the coin!

I have grown to hate RM for exactly this sort of bs, which happens more often than not these days. Just be honest. They'd get our grudging respect at least. But no, they rather do these pathetically transparent cover ups instead. Ho hum.

I went to my posties wedding a couple years back, never have any trouble if she’s doing the round 🙂

🤔... well that's one way of guaranteeing a good service!

Anytime you can build a good relationship with someone you rely on for something (reliable discreet delivery) it’s worth it imo 🙂. Helps that she swears like a trooper

I do that with the ladies in the post office and my postman but it's the idiots in-between them that seem to mess it all up. 

Lost a lovely PF70 gold coin to one of royal mails finest 2 weeks ago. 😒

Claim submitted but they state it can take 30 days to review which is fun and they won't even let you submit a claim until after 5 working days which is quite frankly ridiculous when you've paid for SD 1pm.

Yep. I sent off about 20 parcels and that was the only one that didn't get delivered the next day. 

Still says "Accepted at parcelshop" and that's it.

Finally arrived… 😁
Decided a while ago to collect 1 each of all 1oz official RM silver Britannia’s. All I need is the 2018 reverse & proof set to complete, (may get W16’s, Y2K if I ever see them). 
Probably should have got silver bullion and gold only.. but 🤷‍♂️
