Does the royal mail text you
Yes, Royal Mail, the UK's postal service, does send text messages to customers in certain circumstances. Here are some examples:
- Delivery updates: Royal Mail may send text messages to customers to inform them of changes to their parcel's delivery status, such as "out for delivery" or "delivered".
- Tracking updates: If you've signed up for Royal Mail's tracking service, you may receive text updates on the status of your parcel, including estimated delivery dates and times.
- Delivery attempts: If Royal Mail is unable to deliver a parcel to your address, they may send a text message to inform you of the attempted delivery and ask you to arrange a redelivery or collect the parcel from a local post office.
- Special delivery notifications: For special delivery items, such as those requiring a signature on delivery, Royal Mail may send a text message to confirm the delivery attempt and ask you to sign for the item.
- Service alerts: In rare cases, Royal Mail may send text messages to alert customers of service disruptions or issues affecting their deliveries.
To receive these text messages, you'll need to have registered for Royal Mail's text messaging service, which is usually done when you create an account or sign up for tracking on their website. You can also opt-in to receive text updates when you purchase a postal service or item that requires tracking.
Keep in mind that Royal Mail may not always send text messages, and the frequency and content of these messages may vary depending on the specific service or item you're using.
