I went to collect a parcel this morning after receiving a card yesterday. After a decent wait, and a little bit of staff confusion, they told me they'd just given my parcel to someone else a moment ago. That person had now left the sorting office.

They said they would track it down and redeliver it. I'm hoping the person realises that the name and address on the parcel are clearly not theirs (it was a woman and last time I checked, I'm male) and they'll take it back.

My question is, what happens if the Royal Mail can't retrieve my parcel?

Presumably the woman's actual parcel is still at the delivery office, therefore there is a high chance that the mistake will be spooted by her and she will return to exchange parcels.

Also, the staff will have her collection card (since she had just only collected your parcel) therefore they should also know who she is and where she lives.

Good point. Here's hoping she's not interested in the extreme adult DVD's I'd ordered and sends it back.
