Paid for express delivery and its not arrived, He won't be home for a week now

[wiafm]

I arranged for parcelforce to collect a parcel from my house yesterday, I had paid for the express am delivery as I needed it delivered today at the latest, Cost me just over £50 to send it, Was supposed to be delivered this morning but the tracking is stuck on 'sorted at national hub', it was supposed to be delivered in northern ireland this morning by 10am.

I didn't want to send it in the first place as it was expensive but had no choice, its an iphone 16 pro and now i'm worried it's gone missing.

Person its being delivered to has booked today off work to get the parcel and won't be in tomorrow, in fact he won't be home now until next thursday which is why I paid for the express am option.

What do I do now? even if they try to deliver it tomorrow he's not there for another week.

They won't deliver tomorrow.

Don't they have red warning weather?
I'd imagine there will be lots of disruptions, totally unavoidable depending on location.

Can you/he redirect to another address or a collection locker?

Check the terms and conditions you agreed to. There may be an option to have it returned to you or delivered to an alternative address if they failed to make the date/time they agreed to.

He can arrange re delivery for when he’s in/ collect from depot once they try to deliver and he’s not in

Ireland already have that storm we are getting tomorrow. They won't be out delivering in that for H&S reasons.

I don't know where anyone would stand with regard to compensation under those circumstances.
