Does royal mail 48 economy need to be signed for

According to Royal Mail's guidelines, Royal Mail 48 Economy parcels do not require a signature upon delivery, unless you specifically request a signature upon delivery.

Here are the details:

• Royal Mail 48 Economy parcels are considered "untracked" and do not require a signature upon delivery, unless you have opted for a tracked service.
• If you want to ensure that your parcel is signed for upon delivery, you can opt for a tracked service, such as Royal Mail Tracked 48, which requires a signature upon delivery.
• If you do not opt for a tracked service, the parcel will be left at the recipient's address without a signature, unless the recipient is not available to receive the parcel. In this case, the parcel will be taken to a local post office for collection.

It's worth noting that if you're sending a parcel to a business address, the recipient may be required to sign for the parcel, even if you haven't opted for a tracked service. This is because businesses often have specific procedures in place for receiving and signing for deliveries.

If you're unsure about the delivery requirements for your parcel, you can always contact Royal Mail customer service for more information.
