Mr Huge Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Here in 34 we've had no post all week, although there is a Significant Birthday coming up and there should be lots of cards. Is this just us, or is it a general problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 OK here. Even got illegal packet of seeds through the post.If parcels, you can be sure it is the douanes campaign of deliberately holding up stuff.Or flooding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Mr HugeLooking online and at the TV news at the details of all the flooding and landslips not far from you .. and the regions around you.. caused by the recent rainfall I am not surprised that you have had no mail.

cajal Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 [quote user="NormanH"]If it is parcels from the UK it is one of the predictable consequences of Brexit that BJ glossed over...[/quote]Why would the citizens of the United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from membership of the EU be at all influenced by the possibility that a parcel delivered to France might be held up and that the Prime Minister had failed to brief the country as to this consequence?Or, would your assertion be just another veiled excuse to decry a decision United Kingdom citizens made which you, as a French citizen, would appear to disagree with?

sid Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 We're not on another Brexit debate surely ?There are loads of things that BJ glossed over (that's another way of saying "lied about") that are only now coming to pass, not just parcels which might contain items requiring import duty, but shellfish and live animal exports as well. There will be more.The Brexit vote was so close, not an convincing result at all, and the UK I think will live to regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith-aka-Judith Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 In 34 too, no problem with post, regularly, and plenty from the UK too. Flooding was the Garonne, in Marmande, in 47, other side of the country to 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Mr Huge .......There is a problem, but exactly where is impossible to pinpoint.In December and January, we had items which were taking weeks to turn up - the record was a magazine which made the difficult journey in 7 weeks!A couple of Christmas cards have disappeared without trace, but whether it’s a UK problem or over here ........?My money is on the UK.

Lehaut Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 My wife had to sent proof of ID to UK just before Christmas. France to the office in the UK, 4 days recorded delivery.UK to France, also recorded delivery, the Post Office in UK had no idea where it was after receiving it (according to the site, 10 days in the PO in Birmingham!). Said it was staffing problems/illness/Covid. eventually got it, UK Post Office still had no idea where it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Yes and the second one booked before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 The postal services, not good. I sent important documents to France recorded delivery and signed for, and as soon as the tracking left the UK Royal Mail did not consider that what the french postal service did with my letter was any of their concern.I re-sent the lot, just sent it like a normal letter and it got there OK.And I have had problems in England recently, Royal Mail being very slow, with things. But heyho, got used to such rubbish service in France!I don't know what the OP should do, but this sounds off, even in these times. There could be medical letters and all sorts of important things that have not arrived.Here is a live link:https://reclamations.laposte.fr/There is a phone number on there and email link so that you can ask what is happening with 'la tournee de votre facture'.

chessfou2 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Oh, I do so wish that our factures could disappear (or go round in circles), but our (new) facteur is OK, even if not up to the standard of the last two (about 10 years between the two!).One of my favourite typos!

Ken Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It would indeed be very odd if anyone expected the British government to list all and anything that would change after the U.K. left the E.U. including parcel hold ups! An impossibility but any excuse to criticise the UK will do I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I bought some glasses from a firm in the UK. They were sent via Royal Mail and I got a recorded delivery tracking number when they were posted. A couple of days later they had arrived in France. No tracking after that but they arrived in another two days and had to be signed for. No complaints whatsoever.At Xmas time it was a very different story with all post being delayed by weeks. Xmas card arrived mid January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Everything I ordered before Xmas got here in good time. Since then, we shall see as I ordered something from the UK the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
