Can 1st class mail be tracked uk

In the UK, Royal Mail offers a tracking service for 1st Class mail, but it's not automatically included. Here's what you need to know:

Royal Mail 1st Class Tracking:

• Royal Mail offers a tracking service for 1st Class mail, which is called "Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For" or "Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked".
• This service provides tracking information, including the item's progress, delivery confirmation, and signature on delivery.
• The tracking service is available for an additional fee, which varies depending on the weight and size of the item.

How to track 1st Class mail in the UK:

1. Use the Royal Mail Track and Confirm service: You can purchase this service online or at a post office. The fee is £1.20 for items up to 100g, £1.50 for items 101g-500g, and £2.00 for items over 500g.
2. Use the Royal Mail Signed For service: This service provides tracking and signature on delivery. The fee is £2.20 for items up to 100g, £2.50 for items 101g-500g, and £3.00 for items over 500g.
3. Use a third-party tracking service: There are several third-party services, such as Parcel Monkey or My Hermes, that offer tracking for 1st Class mail. These services may be more expensive than Royal Mail's tracking services.

Important notes:

• Royal Mail's tracking service only provides updates on the item's progress, not the exact delivery time.
• If you're sending a large or heavy item, you may need to use a different service, such as Royal Mail's Special Delivery or Parcel Force.
• If you're sending an item to a non-UK address, you may need to use a different service, such as International Tracked or Signed.
