Can royal mail international standard be tracked

Royal Mail's International Standard service is a cost-effective and reliable way to send mail and parcels to over 200 countries worldwide. While it's not possible to track every item sent via International Standard, Royal Mail does offer some tracking options to help you monitor the progress of your mail and parcels.

Here are the tracking options available for Royal Mail International Standard:

1. Tracking: For items weighing up to 2kg, you can purchase a tracking upgrade for an additional fee. This will provide you with a unique tracking number, which you can use to track the item's progress on Royal Mail's website or through their mobile app.
2. Signature on Delivery: This service is available for items weighing up to 20kg. It requires the recipient to sign for the item upon delivery, and you'll receive a signature confirmation email.
3. International Tracked: This service is available for items weighing up to 30kg. It provides real-time tracking updates and requires the recipient to sign for the item upon delivery.

To track your Royal Mail International Standard item, follow these steps:

1. Visit Royal Mail's website (www.royalmail.com) and click on "Track a parcel" at the top of the page.
2. Enter your tracking number (if you purchased a tracking upgrade) or the item's reference number (if you didn't purchase tracking).
3. Click "Track" to view the item's progress.

Keep in mind that tracking updates may not be available for all items sent via International Standard, especially for smaller or lighter items. However, Royal Mail does provide estimated delivery times and a "Delivery Confirmation" email when the item is delivered.

If you're unsure about the tracking options available for your specific item, you can contact Royal Mail's customer service team for more information.
