Partners in a York business were amused to receive a parcel in the post they had sent out to a customer five years ago.
John Bremner and Anna Sawkins of Sweet Cures in York, sent the package, containing Waterfall D-Mannose™ and Xylotene™, to a customer in the Caribbean, on April 22, 2006.
John said: “We sent it by ‘Royal Mail International Signed For’ and heard nothing until the customer said she hadn’t received it.
“We sent out a replacement a long time ago and wondered where the first package had gone.”
John said the product inside the returned parcel was now well out of date.
According to the Royal Mail’s Track & Trace website, the parcel was registered as sent on April 22 in 2006, and is still being processed in Netherlands Antilles, off the coast of Venezuela.
Since the first package was sent out, Sweet Cures business has grown significantly.
The partners said: “We’ve even changed address since the parcel was sent, to a unit in the Pyramid Court industrial estate off Boroughbridge Road.
Since this package was sent, Sweet Cures has developed a broad product range dealing with a number of different health problems.
A spokesman for Royal Mail said: “We apologise that the customer did not receive the usual high level of service they expect from Royal Mail.
“Royal Mail handles 68 million items a day and cases such as this are very unusual.
“Without seeing the item it is very difficult to speculate on what may have happened to it.”
Anna Sawkins comments: “It was not the fault of Royal Mail. They did their job and handed it over to the Post Office in the Netherland Antilles. The problem was with the overseas office, and we are just amazed that Royal Mail got it back to us after all this time, and at a different address from the postal address.”
