Does royal mail first class recorded have a tracking number

Yes, Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery does come with a tracking number. This service provides a higher level of security and tracking compared to standard First Class mail.

When you send a parcel using Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery, you'll receive a tracking number, also known as a "tracking code" or "consignment number". This unique number allows you to track the progress of your parcel online, from the moment it's dispatched to the moment it's delivered.

You can use the tracking number to:

  1. Track the parcel's journey: Check the parcel's status, including when it's been dispatched, in transit, and delivered.
  2. Receive updates: Get notifications when the parcel is scanned at different points along its journey.
  3. Resolve issues: If there's a problem with delivery, you can use the tracking number to contact Royal Mail and resolve the issue.

To track your parcel, you can visit the Royal Mail website and enter the tracking number in the "Track a parcel" section. You can also use the Royal Mail app or contact their customer service team for assistance.

Keep in mind that while First Class Recorded Delivery provides tracking, it's still a relatively fast service, with most parcels delivered within 1-3 working days. If you need a faster or more secure service, you may want to consider Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed or other premium services.
