Which parcel reference covers our missing FR5 controller?

Our FR5 crate contained the arm, but no controller or pendant cable. Seller says the rest is a second parcel. The reference they sent only shows the crate already here. What should I ask for next?

Ask for the second parcel's carrier reference and a packing list tied to it, so the controller and cable don't remain two promises inside the same vague shipment.

The attached packing list says two packages, but neither line names the contents.

Then ask them to match each package number to its contents and carrier reference; you've got a useful starting point, just not enough to locate the missing kit.

They sent a photo of a carton marked 2. No carrier label visible.

Ask where carton 2 physically is, because another picture of a number won't get your controller to the workshop

And ask whether the cable is inside that carton, rather than finding a third shipment after the controller arrives.

Does the carrier's delivery record say one package delivered or two?

One delivered. Driver's receipt agrees with that. Thanks, Daniel, I hadn't checked the carrier page against it.

At least the paperwork isn't claiming you've received both.

Alex, have they answered where the second carton is yet?

Seller says it's at their packing agent, waiting for collection. That's different from their first reply.

I'd ask for the collection status and the contents list together now, and tell your installer the remaining equipment has no confirmed dispatch yet.

Done. Installer is holding off scheduling. Seller has confirmed controller and pendant cable in carton 2.

Good on holding the visit; no point paying someone to admire a crate while the useful bits sit elsewhere

Have you received a collection confirmation since then?

No. Just a message saying the agent will book it. Still no new carrier reference.

I'd leave it outstanding. A booking they're going to make can still go nowhere.
