Does royal mail text you about a package

Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, does not typically text customers about packages. However, there are a few scenarios where you might receive a text message from Royal Mail:

  1. Trackable items: If you've sent a trackable item, such as a parcel with a tracking number, you might receive text updates about the package's status. These updates are usually sent by the courier company, not Royal Mail, as they are responsible for delivering the item.
  2. Special Delivery: If you've used Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which provides a signature upon delivery, you might receive a text message with a delivery update or a notification that the item has been delivered.
  3. Royal Mail's SMS service: Royal Mail offers an SMS service for businesses and individuals who want to receive notifications about their packages. This service is usually used for bulk shipments or for customers who have requested SMS updates.

To receive text updates from Royal Mail, you'll need to opt-in for their SMS service or request it when sending a package. Keep in mind that Royal Mail may charge for these services, and you'll need to check their terms and conditions for more information.

In general, if you're waiting for a package from Royal Mail, you can track its status on their website or through their mobile app.
