Don’t think they forgot to scan it.
They probably have a set time where they take all the parcel stuff to the lockers and it’s just sitting in a trolley waiting to be put in.
Also possible. Although I have had things delivered to this locker before. The most recent one was marked as arrived at facility at 8:44am, and was marked as ready for pickup from the parcel locker at 8:52am that same day, and it was a similar timeline for the rest. The fact that there’s a few others that have been sitting on ‘arrived at facility’ but not marked for pickup either inside or at the parcel locker is what made me think perhaps they forgot
Speaking of though, they just sent me a message to say that 2 of the ones that had been sitting around since Tuesday last week couldn’t be delivered to the parcel locker but can now be picked up at the LPO. I’ll ask about it then and see what they say
E: oh and this isn’t to diss the postie or post office or anything. I know it’s the very busiest time of the year for them. I’m actually thinking what may have happened with the stagnant ones is they didn’t have any room at the parcel lockers left, so put it to the side or something and it just slipped their mind or got buried or they were too busy to deal with it or something. Fair enough. I just thought they may have forgotten because I know a few times at my last LPO the postman would bring parcels back but according to the staff he didn’t scan it in properly and marked it “in transit” as opposed to “ready for collection”
I reckon it’s worth a check. They’re super busy but if they’re as nice as my post office they might have a quick hunt through the pile for you. Can’t hurt.
Thanks, I’ll ask them nicely and see what they say. I saw a postie out the front chatting to an old lady. He seemed nice enough. Hopefully representative of the staff in general at the post office
The ones at my last post office were pretty meh. There was a young bloke who was always super nice, as well as a middle aged lady who was always so snappy, and an old bloke who looked at a bit like a bogan Santa Claus and had sarcasm issues. Everything he said just HAD to be sarcastic and condescending. No bueno
It’s worth asking about the parcels you have there.
If they’re nice enough they’ll check for you and take it out for you even if it’s marked for the parcel locker.
Used to do it when I was using parcel lockers slot and they hadn’t put it in when I finished work.
