Royal Mail tracked

Hello everyone,
in a nutshell I order medications online. I divert to post offices as my partner doesn’t believe in medication so I have to keep secret. Royal Mail has said they have my parcel but there’s no option to divert my parcel!!
will I have to stay up all night and wait for that option?
im now so worried it will be delivered to my house and he will see. Just wondered if anyone knows at which stage Royal Mail tracked 24 will offer me the usual divert option. It’s awful living like this. I usually get offered the divert option as soon as they’ve received my parcel.

Doesn't believe in medicine, or will 'do something' if you have any in your possession? What would they do if your medication arrived? You have a right to healthcare.

I didn’t get an option to divert a tracked parcel that was recently delivered. Not sure why that was the case.

But your real problem is that you have a partner who doesn’t believe in medicine. That is completely ridiculous. Science isn’t something that requires belief - it is objective, observable, measured, tested and factual.

And because of your partner’s nonsensical view you have to order and take medication in secret. That is completely unacceptable. Does your partner not care about your wellbeing and health?

Try evri they'll lose your parcel so you won't have to worry about anyone knowing...

@BigCheese24 why did you quote the whole of the OP? Yours was literally the first answer.

I've got a new phone and I don't know how to just reply haha! I can't see the button

It's none of your husband's business if you take medication.

DustyMaiden · 14/02/2025 23:28

You don’t have to keep it secret. Tell them to mind their own business. If there is a reason you don’t feel safe doing that then leave.

Not helpful in this instance but why don't you order it to be picked up from a local chemist?

Just realised I have a second tracked parcel due on Sunday. It's also allowing me to divert that one too

Medication is definitely real.

Kedece · 14/02/2025 23:26

It won't necessarily give you the option. I didn't get it recently on an item. I've got an item coming tracked tomorrow and it's allowing me to divert it. Maybe they'll only deliver it direct because its meds

Sounds like you have much bigger problems than a diverted parcel.

"My partner doesn't believe in medication"

Wow. I think diverting a parcel is the least of your life problems.
