This question is related to the Royal Mail and to they'r method of delivery.
As it apears the Royal Mail does not have a clue where is Singapore as i have been informed by they'r costumer service that all the packages to Singapore are sent to Shanghai!!!
It al started 3week's ago when my wife sent a parcel to her sister, and the parcel have been returned 3 days ago with a stamp from Shanghai.
Does any one in here can explain to me;
1-what Shanghai has to do with Singapore.
2 -do brithish shcool sistem do not teach history any more as Singapore is a ex colony.
3 -did any one in here had a similar experience or this kind of things only happen to me and my wife.

Singapore is NOT part of China.
I'm surprised that some people still do not know about this fact.
This only goes to show that Royal Mail is irresponsible and unreliable.

Singapore is an island, city and COUNTRY located just north of the equator and sandwiched between Malaysia and Indonesia. It is tropical and its national languages are English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil.
Shanghai is 8 hours' flight away from Singapore, in the country of China. As it is a Chinese city, they speak Shanghainese and their national language is Mandarin.
I am surprised with Royal Mail's ignorance w.r.t. this!!!!

but you make the mistake of thinking that an English national will help to speed your package throught the system, however it is christmas, and the system is log-jammed, so they offer low wages, and try to hire any idiot who applies for the job.
most idiots are too lazy to work so latest workers to enter the UK get the jobs. Kurdish and Polish chaps snap up the sorting office jobs, and they never had an empire, so perhaps do not know the difference between Singapore and Shanghai...

This is crap we send parcels to singapore every week and we get parcels back.
Singapore is one the most modern countries in the world, they leave us in the UK standing.

that's amazing i have no idea why they do that, the only similarity i know is both begin with the letter S. I believe there are others who share the same experience. Have you tried reporting it to their customer service?
