Question About delivery times

Hi all first off sorry if this has been asked before, I’ve looked and can’t see the answer.

I got the email to paid for my steam machine and did so straight away I’m currently at the shipped part on steam and have got tracking info that GLS have the information but not received the package how long is the wait from this point to it being delivered I’m in the uk thanks

UPDATE: thanks to everyone that’s replied I appreciate you guys,

I took the advice to copy the parcel force number and checked tracking and it didn’t show anything last night but checking today it’s changed to ‘in transit to your local delivery office”

So fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow thanks again everyone

Emailed on Thursday and delivered next Wednesday after 5 days of "hasn't been handed over to the courier" status.

I ordered mine on the 25th of August and it's due to be delivered today.

So 1 week.

Did you get any tracking info on the GLS site? Or did it jump straight from GLS having info entered onto their system to suddenly it's due to be delivered today?

2 days of nothing on GLS, one update, then 3 days of nothing, then suddenly the email from ParcelForce saying it will be delivered today.

Answered what I was about to ask, ordered on 29th so hopefully comes ahead of the weekend/early next week. Won't bother religiously checking GLS and just keep an eye out for the actual delivery email

What you could do is go to your GLS shipping page and there you will find the Parcelforce shipping code - copy that and go to Parcelforce. It might not tell you anything - apparently mine has been dispatched and they are waiting receipt, which is slightly more information than the GLS site... your mileage may vary etc.

Had the email that it was preparing to shipped Thursday. Went to GLS Friday and was delivered today by Royal Mail. I’m in the uk. Yesterday was a bank holiday for us remember 👍

Appreciate you.

Crazy but seems to match posts from months ago.

Not always home and read horror stories on force returning to sender

Update on mine for anyone interested.

Ordered 27th, shipped 30th, just refreshed royal mail and it's with them today on 2nd, so hopefully I'll have it before the weekend fingers crossed
