Message: <blockquote data-quote="Konstantin" data-source="post: 219908" data-attributes="member: 30996">Hi allBeen out and about since 8am this morning. First stop was the Sorting office near me where the parcel is supposed to arrive before being send out for delivery to me.Due to strike action the location is closed to the public  with gates locked.Few people wearing union vests having a social (brews ,bacon butties and a makeshift firepit)near RM vehicle entrance  which is open.Me  greets them and gets in.Im not allowed to go there but I don't care.Anyway I get to customer services(locked door) and ring bell to get someone's attention .Chap comes out and I tell him whats up(I have Special delivery due 2 days ago containing live animals and trying to get to it)I will get a manager he says and is off.20 min nothing happens and car pulls up.Bloke comes out and is like "Noone will answer the door.They on strike"I tell him they already did and Im waiting for manager to come.Another 10 min noone shows and a nice lady comes out to trow some rubbish in large bins outside..I tell her that I am waiting and its a good idea for someone to see me while I am playing nice and I would hate myself to have to be rude and disorderly in order to see the said manager. Anyway she gets in and shortly after he approached me. I explained whats up to him and gave him my tracking information  for my parcels.He went in to check if they have them but no joy.He explained probably they are still in the mailing centre and never left due to the strike and backlogs.I get the address and Im off to a 30 min one way  drive to it.When I arrived there .I am told they not open to the public and Im at the wrong place to chase undelivered parcel.I insist politely and get trough barriers to reception. I saw someone and told my story.They were helpful and explained the situation to me.Due to the sheer number of parcels sorted and placed in sealed bags its not possible to locate my parcels but ensured me Special delivery items are stored in separate office wich is considerably warmer than rest of the site warehouses  and are being priority for delivery and possessing but there is noone there today due to strike action. I am not going to be a complete arsehole and make a scene for the sake of making a point.I left my details if there is someone with access to said Special delivery storage  to contact me if they come across my mail and left but Im not holding my breath. At leat I tried!!!Now if I don't have it marked for delivery tomorrow morning I will revisit the Local sorting office and request to hold parcel there and once its scanned as received there will go pick it up to make sure its not going to be in an unheated van for half a day if its  possible To be continued.....Regards Konstantin</blockquote>
