What is Mystery Parcel
Ask a Question
I got a card through the door saying I have z parcel with £7 to pay at local post office. I usually don't trust them but it's royal mail. I thought it might have been a present I'm waiting for but got reply back from one saying not shipped yet. Leaving 2 one was refunded weeks ago after going missing and wasn't worth £7.
Update the nice man at post office let me look and it was the order that was previously refunded
I had a similar card through the post a month or so ago saying I had to pay £5.50 Or something like that. Didn’t do it because I wasnt expecting any parcels
EKWilkes89 only thing I can think it might have been a free sample or something but still wasn’t paying the postage
EKWilkes89 I'm going to wait and see what one more company says then I will get it if they'll refund the £7 as I already paid p&p
These tend to be scams. If it tells you where to collect it from or has a reference number on it then phone Royal Mail. They will be able to tell you if its one of their reference numbers.
suevernon1968 I wondered if it could be a scam. It says collect from royal mail. I've thought about going down but don't want to pay £7 if item isn't worth it
Imnotcheap you can go down and ask to see it. See if it has a return address on it. If it is telling you to collect from your local Royal Mail office then it is probably real. The scams tend to ask you for a payment to be made online. Do let us all know when you discover what it is won’t you !!
suevernon1968 unfortunately one of the companies said it could be from them they said they will pay which is great. I'm going to have to go see if I can have a feel
You just have to be very careful especially this time of year as there are so many scams around.
HEDGEHOGS my first thought was scam but it says pay at post office so does genuine
