Arrives
It has finally arrived. A week and a half after supposedly being posted by CAA. Went for a flight straight away just to check that it works! Funny thing was there was a coffee stain across the date stamp so it was impossible to see when it was posted. A couple of things that I learnt from the Royal mail though which I thought were interesting
Although they were telling me that it was posted on the 18th and gave me the recorded delivery number, this doesn't mean it HAS been posted. The CAA has a role of these stickers and any one (even still on the role) would show as having been posted on Royal Mail records.
I assumed that because I was given the number that it was posted - wrong
Recorded delivery does not track the parcel on its route - only logged when it has been signed for
I think the cock up was at CAAs end.
