A summary of my attempts so far:
Was given this address over the phone:
7TH FLOOR
FOUNTAIN PRECINCT
BALM GREEN
SHEFFIELD
S1 2JA
I said isn't that the address for the charging office where packages are supposed to be dropped off and not picked up? They said 'oops' and gave me this address:
Home Office
Moorfoot
PO Box 3468
Sheffield
S38WA
I tried to have FedEx pick it up, but they said no PO Boxes. So I wrote in again, and was given this address:
HOME OFFICE
PO BOX 3468
SHEFFIELD
S3 8WA
I asked for an address without a PO Box two more times, and I was given this address both times:
HSMP, HOMEOFFICE
PO BOX 4368
SHEFFIELD
S38WA
HSMP, HOMEOFFICE
PO BOX 4368
SHEFFIELD
S38WA
I tried to have FedEx pick it up again anyway, and was told "NO PO BOXES."
So I wrote to my caseworker directly, and was given this address:
HSMP Team
Home Office
PO Box 3468
Sheffield
S3 8WA
The same one!
Tried the pickup again. No go.
I was given this address today:
Moorfoot Building
Moorfoot
Sheffield
S1 4PQ
I ordered another pickup for this afternoon (the fourth, now), and am praying it goes through. So far, my email thread with my caseworker and the HSMP customer support team is 34 emails. I'm not kidding, 34 emails.
Luckily my caseworker is amazingly nice. He told me he has his toes crossed that FedEx comes today.
Wish me luck!
