I agree with babyshark this is a big overreaction maybe you’re not feeling too strong at the moment these things happen and you re very lucky if you ve gone through life without a lost parcel .There are so many flying around at the moment there is bound to be mistakes they have found your parcel and it will come back to you

Think practically, they didn’t contact you as obviously the label had been damaged so perhaps they couldn’t
What you saw as them hanging up on you is actually an automatic cut off if the lines are engaged

Enjoy your visit and don’t let this tarnish it and if you carry on being tearful like this have a chat with your GP this is an over reaction sazz

I say this kindly but I think your reaction was a little extreme and not in proportion to the incident.

Is there something else going on for you and could you be transferring the upset? Or maybe it’s the current circumstances in general that’s starting to get to you?

Do you feel better after having a little cry? It can be cathartic!

This has been a stressful time for months and now this thing that should have been straightforward has gone wrong and it just feels upsetting.
I totally understand that.

I sent a present to my DGD aged 6 over 3 weeks ago using my normal courrier H......s. I've sent many parcels with them over the last few years and never had a problem. I sell things as a hobby on an auction site.
This was a pair of wellies and I put a little poem in the box for her but the parcel didn't arrive. Looking on the tracking it said delayed but this week I tried to ring them. 8 times I tried and they kept hanging up. Finally got through today and was told parcel is damaged. They had the name of the sender as someone else too, but I had a receipt from the parcel shop to prove it was me.
I've asked for it to be sent back to me so I can check if it's just the box or they've smashed the wellies. I've ordered another pair for DGD and will give them to her Saturday as they are visiting.
But I'm so upset about it as I feel very let down. Had a cry to the dog today. It's not the money but I feel very low and the fact they didn't tell me straight away but left it until I contacted them hasn't helped. I think it's because it was for DGD that it's upset me so much. The replacement pair aren't the same but they are ok
DGD doesn't know it was to be a surprise. Perhaps I'm depressed I don't know why I'm so upset about it.
