Are all 1st class parcels tracked royal mail
Not all 1st Class parcels sent by Royal Mail are tracked. While Royal Mail does offer tracking services for some of its 1st Class parcels, it's not a standard feature for all of them.
Here's a breakdown of Royal Mail's tracking policies for 1st Class parcels:
- 1st Class Signed For: This service includes tracking and requires a signature upon delivery. The parcel is scanned at various points during its journey, and you can track its progress online.
- 1st Class Tracked: This service is similar to 1st Class Signed For, but it's only available for parcels weighing up to 2 kg. It also includes tracking and requires a signature upon delivery.
- 1st Class: This is the standard 1st Class service, which does not include tracking. While Royal Mail aims to deliver 1st Class parcels within 1-2 working days, it's not possible to track their progress.
To determine whether your 1st Class parcel is tracked, you can check the Royal Mail website or the packaging of your parcel. If it's a tracked service, you'll see a tracking number and a mention of the tracking service on the packaging.
Keep in mind that even if your parcel is not tracked, Royal Mail still provides a level of service guarantee. If your parcel is lost or damaged, you can claim compensation or a refund, depending on the circumstances.
