How to track a royal mail parcel without tracking number

The frustration of not having a tracking number! Don't worry, I've got some tips to help you track your Royal Mail parcel without a tracking number:

1. Check the Royal Mail website: Visit the Royal Mail website (www.royalmail.com) and click on "Track a parcel" at the top of the page. Enter your parcel's reference number (if you have it) or the sender's name and address. You might get lucky and find your parcel's status.
2. Contact Royal Mail customer service: Reach out to Royal Mail's customer service team via phone, email, or live chat. Provide them with your parcel's details, such as the sender's name and address, and ask if they can help you track it. They might be able to look up the parcel's status or provide an estimated delivery date.
3. Check with the sender: If you're the sender, contact the recipient and ask them to check their email for any updates on the parcel's status. If you're the recipient, ask the sender to check their account or contact Royal Mail on your behalf.
4. Check with your local post office: Visit your local Royal Mail post office and ask the staff if they can help you track your parcel. They might have access to more information or be able to check the parcel's status on their system.
5. Use a third-party tracking service: There are several third-party tracking services, like Parcel Monkey or Parcel2Go, that can help you track your parcel. These services often have access to Royal Mail's tracking data and can provide updates on your parcel's status.
6. Check online marketplaces: If you purchased the item online, check the online marketplace's tracking page or contact their customer service team to see if they can provide any updates on the parcel's status.

Remember that without a tracking number, it might be more challenging to track your parcel. However, by trying these methods, you might be able to get an update on your parcel's status or estimated delivery date.
