    I was waiting on a letter to arrive, the tracking hadn't changed for over a week so I assumed it got lost. I checked tracking again, and turns out it arrived at the local sorting center about 12 days ago. I never got any green slip. And to complicate things further, they somehow put the wrong name on the package, a females name. The surname is correct though. It was sent from an EU country. Will the package still be there after all this time? And can I pick it up even though theres a different first name? The sorting office wont answer the phone.

    I think that on any green slip I got to say there was a package in the sorting office for collection, it said that if it wasn't collected within 5 days it was returned to sender.

    I nearly missed a package since the postman had put the notice slip in the middle of unsolicited junkmail he was delivering, he folded them all down the middle so they were in a bundle, only when I went to throw them out days later I bothered to separate them and saw it.

    Someone collected it at my house and didn't tell me. Because of those ****ty electronic pads, the name came out wrong.
