Does royal mail tracked 48 only alert on delivery

Royal Mail Tracked 48 is a tracked service that provides updates on the progress of your parcel, but it does not always alert you on delivery.

Here's what you can expect:

  1. Tracking updates: Royal Mail Tracked 48 provides tracking updates at various stages of the delivery process, including:
    • When the parcel is dispatched from the sender's location
    • When it arrives at a Royal Mail sorting office
    • When it is handed over to a local delivery office
    • When it is out for delivery
  2. Delivery confirmation: Once the parcel is delivered, Royal Mail will update the tracking information to show that it has been delivered. However, this update may not be immediate, and it may take a few hours for the information to be reflected online.
  3. No automatic delivery alerts: Unlike some other tracked services, Royal Mail Tracked 48 does not automatically send you a notification when the parcel is delivered. You will need to check the tracking information online to confirm delivery.

If you want to receive automatic delivery alerts, you may want to consider upgrading to Royal Mail Tracked 24 or Tracked Returns, which offer more advanced tracking features, including email notifications when the parcel is delivered.

It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the tracking information and check for updates regularly to ensure that your parcel is delivered safely and efficiently.
