Three months ago I sent a very precious antique African drum (djembe) I use for work to a repair shop in Stoke-on-Trent using Yodel Direct. It never arrived.

Initially, I was told the drum was “definitely” not lost as it had been scanned passing through Yodel’s Hatfield sorting office. I am desperate for someone to search properly for it and return it to me. It’s a large item, nearly a metre tall, so not easy to miss or get lost.
