I returned home after 2 weeks a while back to find a card through my door from the Royal Mail. I’d missed a recorded delivery packet. Probably a DVD I thought as I get sent DVDs regularly because of WhatDVD.Net.

I popped down to the collection depot on the Saturday morning, the only day I’m able to do it, to collect my mystery packet. Guess what? It wasn’t there.

Seems because it had been over a week they’d returned it to the sender, only a further check on the records showed that the sender’s address wasn’t on the packet. So where is my parcel I asked? The Royal Fail employee gleefully told me that the parcel was sent to Belfast where undeliverable items are opened in an effort to find where to send them.

But my address was on it, how could it be undeliverable??? If it’s important enough to be recorded, why not actually deliver it?
He said that’s their procedure.

What a fuck up. I have no idea what the item was, or who sent it – I only know it’s gone. I imagine it was a DVD, and has no doubt now been stolen by a Royal Mail retard.
