Royal Mail problems at South Midlands MC

I posted several items on Thursday last week but I've noticed that 2 appear to be stuck in the system - both at South Midlands Mail Centre.

 

I assume it's the Mail Centre that's the issue, as all my other orders (T48) arrived on Saturday.

 

Has anyone else encountered issues with this MC?

Sent a lage letter T24 with signature on the 14/01/26.  It arrives at S Mids MO the day after.  It hasn't moved for almost two weeks.  This is an important letter.

The letter will be lost. I sent a £600 parcel and once it got there it was gone.

I complained to Royal Mail and it still took a couple of days to get it
moving. More complaints they get maybe they will do something ? It is
mainly just that particular depot.

Sounds like a job for the local MP, maybe worth contacting them.

I am having similar issue receiving an item sent with 48 hour tracked via Royal Mail. Appears to be stuck.

Oh have just waited 3 weeks for a small parcel which passed through the now infamous South Midlands Mail centre . I feel this thread will ever end. I also just received a DHL parcel from Germany in 4 days!  Maybe the manager could go there and find out how to run a parcel service.
