How do i know if tracking number is royal mail

Here are a few ways to determine if a tracking number is from Royal Mail:

  1. Check the prefix: Royal Mail tracking numbers typically start with the prefix "RM" or "RX". For example: RM12345678 or RX98765432.
  2. Check the format: Royal Mail tracking numbers usually have 13 digits, with the first 2-3 digits indicating the country code (GB for the UK), followed by a series of digits that identify the item.
  3. Check the website: You can check the Royal Mail website to see if the tracking number is valid. Go to www.royalmail.com and click on "Track a parcel" or "Track a package". Enter the tracking number and see if it's recognized by Royal Mail.
  4. Check the carrier's website: If you're tracking a parcel from a retailer or online marketplace, you can also check their website to see if they use Royal Mail as their carrier. If they do, the tracking number should be a Royal Mail tracking number.
  5. Check the tracking details: When you enter the tracking number, the tracking details should include information about the carrier, such as "Royal Mail" or "Royal Mail Group".

If you're still unsure, you can contact Royal Mail customer service or the retailer/online marketplace where you purchased the item to confirm the tracking number and carrier.
