Very good point MussEd.
However, these are two parcels I sent that have disappeared off the system. On the other hand, parcels that were sent to me by Parcelforce (and TNT) on the same day, by the same service, via the same route have arrived here with no problems.
Maybe I was lucky and the parcels were delivered here by a former Ice Road Trucker who joined Parcelforce for an easier life and can't understand why his colleagues aren't out and about delivering parcels in this weather.
Or maybe people in the 'central hub' where my parcels have disappeared into without a trace can't get to work because of the snow.
I don't know, but it is mildly annoying, whereas other issues related to the weather don't, quite frankly, appear on my radar.
Good luck with the Styli…
