I have been waiting for 3 months and 6 months for two letters from the UK. But I get them from Germany and they take 3 to 4 days.so send nothing important from the UK.

I sent two by Royal Mail International tracked and signed; the first took six days - the second (sent one week later to the same address) firstly dropped off the tracking system after three days (still in the UK), reappeared ten days later (after several phone calls) "at Heathrow". Fourteen days later, suddenly "This item not recognised". Another phone call and I am told it has been "returned to sender" (me?) and delivered a couple of hours earlier...??
....from a delivery office that is many, many miles from my area - I suspect that it was returned to where I had obtained the relevant documents from in the first place - but when I checked, they couldn't find them either...
In due course, the item reappeared on the tracking site, showing that it had been returned from Heathrow to Manchester via BELFAST!
Needless to say, a claim was submitted - and Royal Mail stated that their "system shows it was returned to you...." After providing them with screengrabs of their tracking system displays (before AND after they "modified" details) and threatening legal action for refund of postage, costs and compensation, they did finally cough up - just postage and costs of the document!
Royal Mail? Never again!!
