Hi
Not posted before but wondering if anyone has any advice.
My MiL has been making a quilt for my friend's sister for literally a year, as a special custom birthday present.
She posted it last week by DPD, who kept changing the delivery date... first it was Thursday, then Sunday, then Monday.
My friend's sister, who we'll call Ellie, has revieved a completely different parcel of some pesticides, with apparently the delivery label for the quilt stuck on it??
My friend is convinced it was deliberately stolen. MiL is devastated that all that work is just gone, and Ellie/friend are furious and upset that they also don't have the quilt and it's not exactly replaceable, what with all the effort time and money that it took to make it.
DPD are saying they'll "investigate" now that my MIL has raised a complaint. We're all desperately hoping the quilt will turn up but are we being naive? It is a busy period but does anyone know how this could have happened? Is there a valid reason for parcels to get new labels during their journey with DPD?
It also seems odd to me that someone might steal it because obviously although it's beautiful it's also clearly dedicated to Ellie and her sister, with a date on it, so would someone really be able to enjoy it if stolen??? You could remove that tag but still.. just disgusting to me.
Really interested to hear if anyone else has positive experiences of this kind of thing turning up.
(Would share pics but we're not sure what we're going to do next but basically it's a large quilt similar to this: but much nicer. Not the actual quilt)
