Goa Travel Forum

i have been on holiday to Goa and posted a large 20 gram parcel by sea mail. when i got home i reallised on the reciept it didnt have my postcode correct or name of town, there is a number instead of letter on postcode, so now i dont know if it will arrive. i would like to know where goods from india dock at in uk. so maybe i can get in touch with them to find parcel. also does anyone know how long parcels take to arrive to uk from Goa. on reciept it has indiapost.

lists contact information for various postmasters in India. You may be able to find a contact point for where you posted your parcel.

On arrival in the UK presumably the Royal Mail/Parcel Force will deal with your parcel. Contact points for them here:

For an idea of delivery speeds (from the UK to India, so it may take longer the other way) look at:

Okay, the receipt doesn't have the correct information but is the label on the parcel addressed correctly? If so, then there should be no problem about it arriving in due course. I have noticed that there is often a difference in the information on either customs labels, receipts and so on. Even if the address is incorrect, the post office will track you down, even if it does take a little while.

thank you so much for replies, which have been helpful. i do not know if the address on parcel was done properly as the shop did it and took to post office in calangute. I did write clearly the address though in their book. not sure if parcel will come parcelforce or courier. no way of finding out. thankyou anyway.
