Royal Mail International Tracked and Signed delay

[Michael Bailey]

I've been expecting a record from the UK since December. I'm in the U.S. It was sent "tracked and signed." There was a little progress in early January, but it's been stuck at Langley since January 10 with the message that "We have received your item at LANGLEY HWDC, our international processing centre. Your item is being prepared for despatch overseas."

Should I just keep waiting? Anyone have any idea when international mail is going to get going at a good rate again?

I had a record stuck at Langley for six weeks just before Xmas !

You just need to wait patiently - The malware attack has stopped all tracked shipments - I have been fortunate that stuff that I had almost given up on  suddenly arrived at South Midlands Dist. with no warning after being trapped at Langley for nearly a month. These were inbound from the States I might add - and a further one from Holland suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a large tracking info gap once it had arrived in France.  I've been advised not to send stuff out, in fact they still cannot process stuff via local post offices, only stuff processed on line and recommended I go to their website for this service. Certain items I think (Yours appears likely) has got trapped in limbo until they can sort out this problem - The Post Office staff are keeping me up-dated - I've got a Guitar Ray awaiting sending - all paid for but not able to send safely due to value.

Best of luck on your stuff

Got home yesterday afternoon to find Jimmy Hart / Joe Tex and Don & Juan in my hall - all three had disappeared in the tracking system in the USA a week ago - only to arrive unannounced 

Like I said - they will arrive

OK, my long wait ended today. I challenge anybody to beat this:

So is the Royal Mail international postage working again after being hacked and disabled in early January?  I sent a record to Mexico but they never received it.
