@Hermesparcels please please could someone get in touch, you've collected an order and scanned it through as a different one - impossible to speak to anyone at the customer service line

[FamilyHistoryHelpers @FamilyHistory1]

@Hermesparcels is it possible to speak to an actual person? Courier collected a parcel yday and scanned it in as a different one (I had 2 collections booked). Going round in circles with bots.

A brilliant short programme on Radio 4 this morning about family secrets. Have you uncovered many "secrets" in your family history research?

[FamilyHistoryHelpers @FamilyHistory1]
